The Setting Son has returned with an even more impressive sound. The Danish rock band’s new single “I Still Can’t Decide What I Want” brings back memories of what made them stand out in 2006. The song features an immediately captivating bright and jangly guitar sound. The track appears light on its surface but reveals profound searching and restlessness when you pay close attention to the sounds. Sebastian T.W. Kristiansen’s voice fits seamlessly into the track while adding a somber element to its lively rhythm. The band maintains its ability to blend raw garage rock power with a gentle dreamy sound without adding unnecessary complexity.
The standout quality of “I Still Can’t Decide What I Want” is its effortless flow throughout the track. This song has a catchy melody that remains in your mind long after you hear it. The warm and slightly nostalgic sound of the production emerges from the fuzzy touches mixed by Christian Ki. The musical composition exudes certainty in its direction despite the lyrics expressing indecision about desires. The band has improved their sound during their extended break while maintaining their original appeal which first captured their fans. Each instrument occupies its ideal position within the arrangement while avoiding any sense of artificial weight or force.
This song previews the upcoming release of their album ‘Cul-De-Sac’ which will be available on June 6, 2025. According to “I Still Can’t Decide What I Want”, fans should expect an extraordinary experience. I find it invigorating when a band returns after a lengthy absence yet maintains an authentic and vibrant sound. The Setting Son is starting a new chapter with their live performance at Spillestedet Stengade in Copenhagen.
