Montreal, Canada (1999 – present)
Set Fire to Flames is a post-rock band of thirteen musicians from Montreal, Canada, formed in 1999, who have released two albums on Alien8 Recordings or FatCat Records depending on where you live.
Both albums were recorded “in states of little or no sleep, in varying levels of intoxication, and in physical confinement,” with the result being brooding, eerie music. The material for their first album Sings Reign Rebuilder was created over five days in a dilapidated old apartment in Montreal and is a mixture of improvisation, composition, and environment noises. Their sophomore double album Telegraphs In Negative / Mouths Trapped In Static was recorded in a barn in rural Ontario; the sounds of the creaking doors and other background noise are heard in the songs.
Many of their tracks are very minimalist in nature, filled with ambient noise and various other non-musical sound effects, juxtaposed or combined with instrumental music.
The band is often considered a side-project of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and the two musical ensembles share several members.

eerie music. not as great as i hoped though. it's like ASMZ but with more diegetic sounds, more experimental and with utmost disrespect for structure or voice. good though

"god is an astronaut? what the fuck is a "god is an astronaut"?" A shitty post-rock band of LOUDLOUDsoftLOUDsoftsoftLOUD [repeat] variety.
