Video: A Place to Bury Strangers – “Keep Slipping Away”
Latter day shoegaze enthusiasts A Place to Bury Strangers are still riding the massive waves from their 2009 release, Exploding Head. The band is gearing up for a co-headlining tour with the like-minded Big Pink, which hits the U.S. in just a few weeks.
