New Entry: Fotoform Drop New Single "You Set Fire to the Sun"

Seattle post punk/dream pop band Fotoform have dropped their new single "You Set Fire to the Sun".

The song is taken from their forthcoming sophomore album 'Horizons', which will be available on October 15. Pre-order your copy here.

"You Set Fire to the Sun" is a call to redirect the negative energy that comes from the existential crises of our everyday lives and harness it as a motivation to live our fullest lives. Essentially, it’s about finding motivation in death – or at least in the realization that death is inevitable and often unexpected.

In “Set Fire,” this existential dilemma is (nearly literally) universalized into celestial terms: “We were broken from the start / stars exploding and pulled apart”. However, there is still hope, even if fleeting: “Don’t fade, be brave / How long until we notice / How long until the door closes.” With this looming inevitability, we need to redirect our fear(s) toward the goal of realizing our greatest, most resonant selves – while we still can.

Take a  listen below.
