|
Telegraphs in Negative/Mouths Trapped in Static is the sophomore double album of Set Fire to Flames. It was released on Alien8 Recordings in 2003.
The album was recorded in a barn in rural Ontario, Canada. The sounds of the band members talking and moving around can be heard. Like their first album, Telegraphs in Negative/Mouths Trapped in Static was recorded "in states of little or no sleep, in varying levels of intoxication, and in physical confinement." The release utilizes many different instruments, including guitars, basses, strings, horns, glockenspiel, marimba, bass clarinet, saw, cymbalon, hurdy gurdy, music boxes, modified electronics, and contact microphones. Unlike Sings Reign Rebuilder, Telegraphs in Negative/Mouths Trapped in Static focuses more on sound rather than composition, leaving more airy voids and drones.
