Last week saw the ever-prolific A Place To Bury Strangers return with the release on their new album, Synthesizer, via Dedstrange.
One of the highlights of the record is “Bad Idea”, a track that ironically started when the band’s John Fedowitz didn’t think he had a good idea for a new song.
He came to the studio with a simple looping drum beat, thinking he didn’t have any good ideas—thus, the song was his “bad idea.” The track features their ever-present blend of controlled chaos, blurring the lines of punk and psych rock and experimental rock, which taps into something primal that is simply unshakable.
Speaking further on the song, the band adds:
We each penned some lines on paper, and he sang the ones that resonated. After a few instrumental passes, the recording was complete. The result is an innovative track born from spontaneous collaboration and a touch of self-doubt, turned into something uniquely captivating.
Enjoy a listen now below, along with the previously shared single “Disgust” and find the album available to stream in full and buy on Bandcamp.
