SET FIRE TO FLAMES
Sings Reign Rebuilder
Boomkat Product Review:
The haunting debut release of Montreal supergroup Set Fire to Flames, and the first on FatCat’s 130701, back in circulation to pop the bubble of 2nd hand prices and introduce new ears to their unpredictable post-rock volley.
Huddling members of Godspeed you black emperor!, A Silver Mt Zion, Fly Pan Am, Hanged Up, and Exhaust under the immolated alias, ‘Sings Reign Rebuilder’ is the cornerstone of FatCat’s avant and classical label 130701. The 13 band-members made one other album, ‘Telegraphs in Negative / Mouths Trapped In Static’, but their first LP remains their finest, part due to its recording in the knackered house depicted on its cover, and surely due the music; passages drifting from creaking floor boards and ambience to their patented emotional post rock swells, rustic folk, and post-apocalyptic echoes of a world on the cusp of paradigm change (9/11 occurred just prior its release).
At the time it was an entry point to a then potent world of post-rock that scavenged the remains of late C. 20th rock energies and erected flaming totems in their wake, and was variously hailed as “one of the most broodingly beautiful, dramatically emotional, hauntingly evocative albums likely to ever scrape at your soul… This record will kill you” byTimeOut, and garnered a rare 9/10 by Pitchfork who claimed it as “a gripping testament to the power of emotional expression in music… a marvellously inventive and powerful album.”
21 years later the LP remains a landmark opus. Field recording of streetside lament give way to rustic melancholy; embers of avant practice stoke motorik rushes; heart-crushing discord banks up the spine; spectral folksong drifts thru the windows; spy movie noir breaks and dialogue give way to cobwebbed folk strings and damaged tape recordings of possessed percussive ritual; ineffable instrumental hymns lurk in its ceilings and chamber music pools in a murky basement.
