Set the Woods on Fire is a studio album by indie rock band Art in Manila. It was released in 2007 via Saddle Creek Records.

## Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "these are thoughtful tracks, carefully developed and arranged by [Orenda] Fink and her collaborators, and while the themes are generally weighty, the singer's voice -- good, but not extraordinary, with clean higher tones that can take on a rougher edge when she moves down the register -- alongside her distinct sense of melody, keep them from sinking into despair or longing or over-dramatics." PopMatters wrote that "the songwriting is rather good, juxtaposing achingly pretty melodies against abrasive, rock-centric beats." Spin praised the album bookends as "pieces of gorgeous sorrow."
