18. Set Fire to Flames - [bad word] des Trous de [bad word] Reproduit
With [bad word] des Trous de [bad word] Reproduit" Set Fire to Flames open their second album, Telegraphs in Negative/Mouths Trapped in Static, in hypnotic fashion. By layering mesmerizing guitar lines gradually over one another, the track is immediately engaging, and the addition of metallic, eastern flavored percussion makes it a downright intoxicating opener. Although the album as a whole at times falls into the trap of avant-grade excess, this shimmering example of the bands potential and haunting brilliance stands as one of their finest moments. As far as album openers go, few have unveiled a band's [bad word] spirit as perceptively [bad word] as [bad word] des Trous de [bad word] Reproduit." (Matt Fernell)
