Set It Off detail new album, ‘Duality’
Set It Off will release Duality, their sophomore full-length album, Oct. 14 via Equal Vision Records. The album was recorded in LA with producers Brandon Paddock (Avril Lavigne), Tommy English (We Came As Romans, Black Veil Brides) and Matt Appleton (Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger). The album will also feature guest vocalist spots from Jason Lancaster (formerly of Go Radio) and William Beckett.
SIO frontman Cody Carson states: “I've always been borderline obsessed with the notion of duality. Something about the juxtaposition of two polar opposites seems so vulnerable and blatantly human to me. Everyone has two sides, the side they let people see and the side they hide. In this record I decided to bare exactly who I am and what I go through in my day to day life. Love, heartbreak, sex, alcohol, happiness, sadness, anger, the human experience. I want you to hear this record and experience every human emotion you're capable of feeling,”
Carson continues, “It's not just the lyrical content that represents duality, the instrumentals portray it as well. You'll hear dark, minor verses that transition to bright, happy choruses. Just like our lives, the great involuntary, impulsive non-stop roller coaster ride. I'm sick of fake people and watching them skate by with the idea that it's okay to put on an act to gain confidence and trust in their peers. Allow me to be the first to tell you this about myself: I am good, I am evil. I am solace, I am chaos. I am human, and that's all I've ever wanted to be. Be human with us and show us your true duality.”
Check back with AP for a full interview with Carson tomorrow.
