After seeing sites like Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan and Decibel all post individual tracks from the LP, St. Pete post rock outfit Set and Setting have finally made the whole of Reflectionless available to stream (via Noisey).
DO THIS: SET AND SETTING LP RELEASE AT LOCAL 662 01.27.17
Without a doubt, the band has raised the bar when it comes to how Tampa Bay’s homegrown talent gets nationwide recognition. Their last LP, A Vivid Memory, was released on Los Angeles metal imprint Prosthetic Records, and even as they prepare their new, independently released third full length (due January 27), Set and Setting keep getting attention from ways away as evidenced by the Noisey review, which calls the effort "very pretty" and even "beautiful."
"There is a quiet joy held within its tangles of notes," Kim Kelly writes, "in the rise and fall of its drawn-out melodies and forays into technical ecstasy."
Set and Setting have also been tapped to play Belgium's Dunk! Festival alongside Belgium's Ashtoreth and Terraformer plus The Black Heart Rebellion and Time to Burn from France.
Listen to Reflectionless below, and get more information on the LP's release show, where the boys will play it in its entirety, via local.cltampa.com. Preorders for the record are happening via Bandcamp, but you should pick one up in person at the show or at your local record store.
