Telegraphs in Negative/Mouths Trapped in Static is the second double album by the Canadian musical collective, Set Fire to Flames. The album was recorded in the span of several months in late 2002, and was then published by both Alien8 Recordings and FatCat Records in 2003.
The album itself was recorded in a barn in rural Ontario, Canada. The recording atmosphere was decidedly informal—the sounds of the band members talking and moving around can be readily heard during the albums quiet moments. Like their first album, Telegraphs in Negative/Mouths Trapped in Static was recorded "in states of little or no sleep, in varying levels of intoxication, and in physical confinement."
The release utilizes many different instruments, including guitars, basses, strings, horns, glockenspiel, marimba, bass clarinet, saw, cymbalon, hurdy gurdy, music boxes, modified electronics, and contact microphones.

Famous quotes containing the words negative, mouths and/or trapped:
“There is no reason why parents who work hard at a job to support a family, who nurture children during the hours at home, and who have searched for and selected the best [daycare] arrangement possible for their children need to feel anxious and guilty. It almost seems as if our culture wants parents to experience these negative feelings.”
—Gwen Morgan (20th century)
“Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,
The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of
young fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“You have been trapped in the inescapable net of ruin by your own want of sense.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
