A Place to Bury Strangers “Keep Slipping Away” (Video)

More tour dates means another ear-slitting video for the masses. 

Perhaps a cautionary tale of what happens when one spends too much time in front of the TV and gets sucked into the world of technology, “Keep Slipping Away” is the latest video from the Brooklyn trio and brings out Ackerman’s maniacal tendencies. His obsession with sounds and images is all-consuming and seems to be the cause for his decaying on-camera romance. When it looks like you’re a lobotomy patient, would you expect a happy ending?

A Place To Bury Strangers = Kinda creepy video

A Place to Bury Stangers have released the second video from their self titled debut on Killer Pimp records for their song “The Falling Sun.” Directed by David Yoonha Park the video is chock full of slow camera pans and somewhat cheesy sci-fi effects that were pulled from a late ’70s made for TV movie called Lathe of Heaven based off a Ursula K.
