Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. 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. Led by Oliver Ackermann, the band had a simple goal for their first proper studio album: to create the craziest, most intense 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, drawing inspiration from shoegaze icons such as Jesus & Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine. Pitchfork described the album as showcasing frustrated aggression, lacerating feedback, and being saturated with slender indie-pop melody. The album has been digitally remastered by Oliver Ackermann and is presented in three formats: Deluxe 2LP (D2C/Indie Exclusive), 2CD Deluxe, and 1LP Standard. The Deluxe 2CD is housed in a Reverse Board 6 Panel Digifile and features a 16pp Booklet with newly designed artwork, as well as exclusive sleeve notes by music journalist Tris McCall. CD2 includes B-Sides, Rarities & Covers, featuring the previously unreleased track "Take it All" and covers of songs by Bowie and 13th Floor Elevators.
