A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS Hypnotize Your Ears And Your Mind With New Single ‘DON’T TURN THE RADIO’
Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant
23 April 2024
Brooklyn‘s noise addicts A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS led by maestro
Oliver Ackermann have the 3rd single, named DON’T TURN THE RADIO,
that’s part of ‘The Sevens’, a series of four 7-inch vinyl records on white vinyl
that unveil a treasure trove of previously unreleased tracks from their terrific
6th LP See Through You.
Ackerman: “When looking back at the recordings that were done around the time
of ‘See Through You’, there were a bunch of great tracks that just captured life back
then and really had something incredible going on. Even though they are a bit raw
and a bit personal, I thought it would be a mistake if they didn’t come out.
I thought it would be best to go back to my roots and put out a series of 7-inches the way
A Place To Bury Strangers started. That strange weird format where the tracks each speak
for themselves; no album context to muddy the water. These tracks are such a contrast to
the way I am feeling now and the current songs we’ve been working on so slip back into this moment in time.”

TUTV: Don’t Turn The Radio is a hypnotizing, ongoing Krautrock-like jam that works like
a magnet. Less chaotic and crushing than your vintage APTBS exploits but Ackermann only needs 133 seconds here to hypnotize your ears and your mind with entranced electricity and cacodemonic vocals. A galvanic psych groove.

LOU REED – Star-Studded Tribute Album ‘THE POWER OF THE HEART’ Out Now

The tribute album for the late genial rock star LOU REED,
titled The Power Of The Heart: A Lou Reed Tribute

Rufus Wainwright, Rickie Lee Jones, and The Afghan Whigs.
TUTV: There are some really notable performances (Richards, Wainwright,
The Afghan Whigs and Rickie Lee Jones) on the album, but no one, whoever,
can match the late genial legend’s masterly exploits with his unique and
utterly cool voice, his superb and solid rock/pop compositions, arrangements, orchestrations and his New York swagger. Lou Reed is an exceptional artist,
for eternity.

MAX BLANSJAAR – Singer-Songwriter Entertains Our Ears Again With New Earworm ‘BURNING IN OUR NAME’
New striking strokes
22 April 2024
Artist: MAX BLANSJAAR
Who: Up and coming 21-year-old singer-songwriter born in Amsterdam, raised in Oxford based now in Brooklyn. He first appeared on the Oxford scene in 2018, aged 15, promoting shows in all-ages venues, recording sessions for BBC Radio Oxford, appearing on local magazine covers, and releasing his playfully sincere lo-fi indie pop songs through bandcamp.
New single: BURNING IN OUR NAME
From his upcoming debut album False Comforts,
out June 21. More info here.
Album artwork
Blansjaar: “I wrote this song in one sitting — it was a stream-of-consciousness kind of thing. How many times had I turned on the radio and heard about ‘generational challenges’? How does the individual fit into that picture? From the moment we’re born, how many fires have already been started in our name?
Politics is personal, and what seem like huge, sprawling issues can affect our lives in small, everyday ways. We recorded most of the song to cassette using a six-track Tascam tape recorder. I left the tape in the studio in Brooklyn by mistake — I’ll go and pick it up one day.”
TUTV: Following last month’s frolicsome song Anna Madonna, Blansjaar entertains our ears again with this tiptop tune. It’s a folky, sickly sticking, jangly earworm with Blansjaar laid-back vocals rollin’ all over it.
On the album’s cover and on the bus he’s surrounded by freaks. I have no idea who they are. His band? His best friends? His demons?. Maybe there’s a connection with the song’s hilarious line “my face looks like I spent the night with Freddie Krueger”. Anyway, Burning In Our Name confirms Blansjaar‘s songwriting skills.
