The project of Oliver Ackermann, A Place to Bury Strangers combines shoegaze, space rock, and more into blisteringly loud but often beautiful music. Despite frequent lineup changes, APTBS' dedication to volume, pedal-stomping sounds, and smouldering attitude remained as they moved from the classic shoegaze sounds of their 2007 self-titled debut to the noise and electronic experiments of albums like 2015's Transfixiation and 2018's Pinned. On 2021's Hologram EP and 2022's full-length See Through You, the band returned to their noisy roots and delivered some of their finest music.
