A Place To Bury Strangers Share Reflective New Single ‘Where Are We Now’ Ahead Of ‘Rare And Deadly’ Release

Offering a more introspective turn, Where Are We Now sees frontman Oliver Ackermann reflecting on lost connections and the passage of time. Built around a brooding sonic backdrop, the track pairs the band’s signature wall of distortion with a surprisingly vulnerable core, as Ackermann contemplates fading friendships and the distance created by life’s unfolding paths.

The accompanying video, assembled by Ackermann using archival footage from the Library of Congress, adds another layer of poignancy. Conceived as a meditation on human connection, the visuals underline the song’s themes of memory, empathy and the value of shared experience.

The track follows previous single Acid Rain and continues to build anticipation for Rare And Deadly, a release that opens up the band’s extensive archive spanning 2015 to 2025. More than a traditional compilation, the album brings together demos, B-sides and experimental fragments, capturing the raw, unfiltered creative process that has defined the band’s sound over the past decade.

In keeping with that ethos, Rare And Deadly arrives in multiple formats—CD, cassette, vinyl and digital—each featuring a unique tracklist. No single version presents a definitive edition, instead offering different perspectives on the band’s evolving sonic identity. The result is a deliberately fragmented listening experience that mirrors the chaotic, exploratory nature of the recordings themselves.

Across the collection, listeners can trace the restless experimentation that has long set A Place To Bury Strangers apart, from blown-out guitar textures and malfunctioning effects to moments of unexpected melody buried beneath layers of feedback. It’s a document of a band operating in the space between structure and collapse, where ideas are captured in their most immediate and unpredictable forms.

With Rare And Deadly, A Place To Bury Strangers offer a rare glimpse behind the curtain—an archive of noise, texture and possibility that reveals as much about what was left behind as what ultimately made it into the spotlight.
