Set Fire to Flames

Set Fire to Flames is a post-rock band of thirteen musicians from Montreal, Canada, who have released two albums on Alien8 Recordings.



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. Their sophomore double album 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.
