In this episode, we talk with Dusty Hanna and Damon Di Ciccio about the new Silence album The Countdown’s Begun and all the apocalyptic feelings that inspired it. This is one of our “close reading” episodes where we take an artistic work and examine it like we’re in a graduate seminar.
This is a long episode, but how often does a band get to do a 33 1/3 type examination of their own album? More importantly, if you’re listening to this podcast, The Countdown’s Begun probably captures a lot of what you’re thinking and feeling at this moment in history. You can and should buy The Countdown’s Begun through Profane Existence, or you can snag it on the Play Alone Records website. Downloads can be had at the Silence Bandcamp Page, and last but not least, folks in Pittsburgh can get the LP at Skull Records or Cruel Noise Records.
In the process of talking in depth about every song on the album, we listen to the song “Soundtrack to the Picture of the Same Name”, we speculate about how the world can go on, and of course I swear a lot.
