Alternative trio Set It Off delivers the high-energy single and music video ‘Projector,’ available worldwide via Fearless Records. Following their latest single ‘Skeleton,’ ‘Projector’ further teases their upcoming album ‘Elsewhere’, which premieres on March 11th. Elsewhere promises to divulge an unseen vulnerability to Set It Off’s musicality, in addition to varied moods and worlds for listeners.
With an in-your-face attitude, Set It Off is releasing all of their pent-up aggression off of their chests in ‘Projector.’ Enough is enough, and instead of aiming your inner turmoil at others, the band simply emphasizes that people need to listen more and talk less. Discussing the inspiration of ‘Projector,’ singer and lyricist Cody Carson describes “the amount of people that end up entering my life that are incapable of saying ‘I’m wrong,’ ‘I messed up,’ or ‘I’m sorry’ is baffling to me. Instead you’re met with finger-pointing, excuses, and anger. They project their issues onto other people or even onto you just so they don’t have to face it themselves… I just want people to be able to turn this up as loud as it can go and vent about all those irritating people in their lives.
Singing alongside a ghostly guitar hook, Set It Off references haunting symbolism like Hannibal Lecter in the lyrics for ‘Projector.’ This symbolism is embraced within the music video through neon gore – a theme that the band has previously explored in ‘Skeleton’ as well. Rapidly shifting, trippy scenes create a dizzying atmosphere, as Set It Off faces projector people and macabre monsters, who are eerily watching and controlling the band’s every move.
