Set It Off face reincarnation with their latest single Skeleton, available worldwide on October 29th. With a metaphor of stripping one’s flesh to unveil unyielding bone, Skeleton centres on liberating your core self from your negative, internalised facades and influences. Set It Off sings of unapologetically embracing yourself in an effort to breathe new life within. Skeleton is the lead single off their upcoming album Elsewhere, which promises to divulge further vulnerability and open varied moods and worlds for listeners. 

The music video for Skeleton sees Set It Off revamping their image with pops of “bright neon colours mixed with macabre imagery,” a shift that certainly matches their reinvigorated, musical energy.

Emphasising the single’s message of daring to be authentic, singer Cody Carson says “it’s so important to me that you know me for who I am, at my core, at my best and at my worst. Being vulnerable shouldn’t come with a rain cloud overhead and it certainly shouldn’t be frowned upon. It should be encouraged. Through life‘s bumps and bruises, I’ve learned it’s easier spent stripping away the fear of letting go and saying how you feel, when you feel it. It’s ok to be vulnerable. It’s ok to be a Skeleton.”

Speaking from his own personal battle against the stigmas of bisexuality, drummer Maxx Danziger echoes Carson’s sentiment, refusing to pretend to be someone else to placate others. “There’s so much outside pressure swaying us to act the way others think we should whether it’s your interests, hobbies, sexuality, career, gender identity, etc. The ability to block out that noise, find your true self, and be that person 100% is real vulnerability and real bravery.”
