A Place To Bury Strangers have shared their third single, “Bad Idea”, off their upcoming album “Synthesizer” out October 4th via Dedstrange.

The video for the song was directed by: “While touring with the band doing visuals and lighting since 2022, I’ve been lucky enough to experience the band perform new songs and see the development of Synthesizer. In 2023, they started performing “Bad Idea” and I was immediately hooked. It’s one of those live songs that really just takes you along for the ride and is really fun to do visuals and lights for. As the year went on we started talking about videos and elements for the new album and I was approached to do a video for this song and was immediately happy and grateful. I’ve been filming the band on tour and in their practice studio since December of 2023 and have been taking my Hi8 camera on the road and filming the shows. I tried my best to capture as much of the chaos of seeing the band live that I could, it’s an intense journey!”

Oliver Ackerman shared this about the song: “John Fedowitz (bass) 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’. 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.”
