The Setting Son is snarling, jangling, and fuzzing their way into 2025 with their latest single, “I Still Can’t Decide What I Want,” a raucous jolt of garage-rock adrenaline that proves this Danish quartet hasn’t lost an ounce of their scrappy, psych-pop magic. Twelve years after their hiatus, frontman Sebastian T.W. Kristiansen and his crew are slinging hooks sharper than ever, blending their retro roots with a raw, modern bite.
Sebastian T.W. Kristiansen, the mastermind behind the band, is growling and crooning like a man possessed. His voice is this perfect cocktail of restless energy and been-there-done-that cool. The song’s all about being stuck between the past and the future – classic rock ‘n’ roll stuff that’ll make you question your life choices while headbanging. But here’s the real kicker – the band’s chemistry is off the charts. Adam Olsson on lead guitar? The dude’s a madman, shredding through the track with mind-bending riffs that’ll make your brain do backflips. And don’t even get me started on the rhythm section. Tobias Winberg on bass and Adam Winberg on drums are locked in tighter than your grandma’s Tupperware. They’ve got this groove that’s both precise and wild, like a controlled explosion.
Christian Ki’s production is the cherry on top of this garage-rock sundae. It’s like they recorded the whole thing in some dingy basement while the cops were banging on the door. The organ sounds like it’s about to catch fire, and Kristiansen’s rhythm guitar? It’s churning out chords that crackle and pop like a bonfire on steroids.
The Setting Son’s comeback isn’t just nostalgia; it’s a reinvention. Their upcoming album *Cul-De-Sac* (out June 6) promises to bridge their fuzzed-out past with fresh ambition, and this single is the perfect teaser. For fans who’ve followed Kristiansen since his 4-track DIY days in Copenhagen’s Østerbro district, it’s a thrilling reminder of why this band matters. They’re not chasing trends—they’re carving their own lane.
