I SET MY HUMAN ABSTRACT ON FIRE

I Set My Friends On Fire’s new album, Astral Rejection, was produced by The Human Abstract vocalist Travis Richter, and features performances from former The Human Abstract guitarist Andrew Tapley; in fact, Tapley even appears in the band’s new video, “It Comes Naturally” (below). And you would think that the presence of two of the guys involved in the creation of Digital Veil, one of my favorite albums of the year, would mean that I Set My Friends On Fire suddenly stepped up their game, and made something listenable.

But you’d think wrong. I had a lot of love and respect for Richter and Tapley, but I Set My Friends On Fire still make me wanna set my ears on fire. I can’t believe this is a real band that real people listen to.

Astral Rejection is out now.
