Set Fire to Flames was a Canadian instrumental music ensemble consisting of 13 musicians from Montreal, Quebec.[1] The band was often considered a side project of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, as the two groups shared several members.[2]
Set Fire to Flames was initiated by David Bryant. The group released two albumsonAlien8 Recordings and FatCat Records, on their own imprint, 130701, which was set up in 2001.[3] The first album, Sings Reign Rebuilder. was released in October that year.[1]
The ensemble's second album, Telegraphs in Negative/Mouths Trapped in Static, followed in 2003.[4] It was recorded in a barn in rural Ontario; the sounds of the creaking doors and other background noises are heard behind the songs.
Both albums contain brooding, eerie music. Many of the tracks are minimalist,[1] filled with ambient noise and various other non-musical sound effects, juxtaposed or combined with instrumental music.[4] Both album cover images display the work of photographer Michael Ackerman.
A third album was recorded in collaboration with the band Jackie-O Motherfucker but never released. In 2009, a composition from the band's first album was included on a compilation album released by 130701.[5] In 2016, a previously unreleased track was issued on 130701's 15th-anniversary compilation Eleven Into Fifteen.
