Unavailable on vinyl for over 20 years, 'Sings Reign Rebuilder' was the stunning 2001 debut album from Set Fire To Flames - a sprawling, adventurous 13-piece Montreal collective, inc. seven members of Godspeed you black emperor! and others from bands like A Silver Mt Zion, Fly Pan Am, etc. Recorded over a five-day period in a rickety old house in a communal atmosphere of long-duration improvised creative activity, operating on no sleep/confinement/intoxication, it was brilliantly edited to mix post-rock guitar-scapes; extended passages of scratchy, freeform improv and concrete clatterings; atmospheric location recordings; stirring, chamber string arrangements; deep/sparse drones; and kraut-like, heavily rhythmic workouts.
