A Place To Bury Strangers is one of the two bands to come out of the dreampop band Skywave (1995-2003), the other being Ceremony. Since the first and only MOG post about APTBS so far (from June 2006, huge props to aytch!), the band have had various recordings that have been sold on CD-Rs at shows or circulated in the Internet professionally mixed, mastered, and released as an album by Killer Pimp Records. Here's a way to describe it. During his Skywave period, the APTBS f... MORE
