Cranked up, you&#8217;ll hear no more thrilling record this year, and it sits neatly as a more visceral, vicious companion to the Horrors&#8217; Primary Colours, which mines many of the same influences. And taken as a showreel for Ackerman&#8217;s customised guitar pedal business- as Death by Audio, his clients include U2 and, yes, My Bloody Valentine- the album is undeniably impressive. I want what he&#8217;s got.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/aptbs\">aptbs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/explodinghead\">explodinghead<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/review\">review<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audioscribbler.co.uk\/reviews\/14605\">A Place to Bury Strangers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Exploding Head : AudioScribbler: A UK Media Webzine<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to thank A Place to Bury Strangers for kick-starting the reappraisal of shoegaze. &#8220;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/aptbs\">aptbs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/explodinghead\">explodinghead<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/review\">review<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/strangeglue.com\/news\/albums-out-this-week-wc-12th-october-2009\/10007030\">Albums Out This Week: W\/C 12th October 2009 &#8211; Strangeglue &#8211; Music News, Views and Reviews<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">Two years later and we&#8217;re blessed with a promising sophomore record which is set for release on Mute Records.<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/aptbs\">aptbs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/explodinghead\">explodinghead<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/review\">review<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review \/ A Place To Bury Strangers &#8211; Exploding Head \/ Releases \/ Releases \/\/ Drowned In Sound &#8220;Ultimately, throughout its ten pieces, Exploding Head is a much more diverse collection than A Place To Bury Strangers, and far outweighs the shoegaze revivalist criticisms their detractors have labelled them with.
