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 in 2009, the album was critically praised for its explorative sound, taking inspiration from shoegaze icons such as Jesus & 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.
140g transparent red vinyl is housed in Standard Sleeve and features exclusive sleeve notes by music journalist Tris McCall.
