Set Yourself On Fire

Kinda fun indie Canadian record. Occasionally sounds a bit like Tegan and Sara. Sometimes sounds like Architecture in Helsinki. Often sounds entirely unique.

Enjoyable indie pop with guitars padded out with orchestral arrangements. 3.5

Pretty bland but One More Night is a beautiful song.

This LP stretches itself much too thin trying to figure out what it wants to be, jumping from one early-aughts genre to another with not much melodic or instrumental thread to connect one track to another. There seems to be a larger narrative element at play, but the the sudden, distracting tonal shifts (and accompanying instrumentation changes) meant that the lyrics often fell by the wayside of placing another disparate track in context of the others. The best albums are those where each track feels unique but contributes to the whole, and this LP is definitely lacking when you sum up its parts.
