Product description


Following their eponymous debut in 2007, Exploding Head is A Place To Bury Strangers’ most notable record, garnering the New York noise rock outfit critical praise and a cult fanbase. Lead by Oliver Ackermann, the band had a simple goal for ‘their first proper studio album’; “to create the craziest, most fucked-up recording ever." Recorded at their Death By Audio studios in New York and released on Mute Records, the album was critically praised for its explorative sound, taking inspiration from shoegaze icons such as Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine. Pitchfork described the album as “frustrated aggression, lacerating feedback… saturated with slender indie-pop melody."

The album has now been digitally remastered by Oliver Ackermann.

2LP+ - This Limited Edition Double Album on 140g Transparent Vinyl is housed in Numbered Reverse Board Gatefold Sleeve and features Newly Designed Artwork and 12” Original Cover Art Card as well as exclusive sleeve notes by music journalist Tris McCall.
