4 stars Well like the other constellation label groups Set fire to flames have members from Godspeed, Silver mount Zion and others, but in this case they get reunited to record in a house in Montreal, and they spent days just recording and mixing the sounds and noises with a very large and vast line up of Musical instruments, The result was a mix between strange sounds, noises, voices, blows, Crackles, urban noises and musical ideas melted perfectly. You can hear from footsteps and bizarre percussive sounds to some very strange chair noises, also like in every Godspeed album they put street noises and people talking, laughing and digressing.

In Sings Reign Rebuilder we can hear a more consistent and coherent work than in their second release, could we labeled as depressing heart rendering In some moments but its more than that, its hopeful and fascinating , and we have some really interesting pieces like "Steal Compass", "Omaha", "Vienna Arcweld", "Shit-Heap-Gloria Of The New Town Planning" and others (all instrumental); I could say that there's no filler or disappointing parts here. Because this is a experimental work could be difficult in the first listens to get the idea about what they were are trying to say with this record. So be patient because its something like you probably never heard before. It's a free will work of art, because they don't have any intension to be commercially successful, its just about music.

Comparing their sound with Godspeed and others its comprehensible, but this is new and refreshing for the post rock/experimental genre, because many of the "new" post rock bands just repeat the same formula and don't contribute whit anything new.

Son if you are really open minded and want to try something really new, try Sings Reign Rebuilder, It will make you think about some serious #@*4 . Totally recommended. 4.5 stars.
