A Place to Bury Strangers sign with Dead Oceans in time to announce the release of a new five-song EP in early 2012. Phil Waldorf, co-founder of Dead Oceans, had this to say about the label’s newest addition in a statement released Monday:

I’ve been enamored with A Place to Bury Strangers since I first heard their debut album. Their live shows have rattled me time and time again. It is not often you get to work with a band that you’ve been closely following for years, and we are honored to be a part of their new chapter. Wait until you hear what comes next.

A Place to Bury Strangers will headline a CMJ showcase at Union Pool in Brooklyn on Wednesday, October 19th. More details on their upcoming EP will be available soon.
