Voyeuristic Symphony

Monday Mar 08, 2021
The boys return to talk about about Voyeuristic Symphony, the final song from Cresendo of Silence! At almost 60 tracks and including a string section, the only thing more epic than the song is the conversation about it. The stems flow aplenty for this one, including the previously unheard (and rightfully so) choral section. And that's nothing compared to the moment when Tommy finally calls Lance out...

Monday Mar 01, 2021
All the guys return to the virtual studio to talk about the podcast's namesake, "Echoes Down the Road." This episode runs the gamut of emotions, bringing up the absurdity as well as the heartbreaking reality of the subject presented - the deconstruction of faith. This one is a must listen.

Fallen

Monday Feb 22, 2021
In this very special episode, the guys get together to talk about the song that started it all. Originally written as a one-off song for a solo project, Fallen instead opened up the songwriting floodgates and mixed together the special sauce that would become West of House. Bobby Phillipps is back as well and you don't want to miss when he goes head to head with Italy, the UK, and Brazil. Come join us - it's gonna be a long way to fall.

Erick & Lance welcome Bobby Phillipps, the mix ninja for West of House, to the virtual studio to talk about "Turn of Phrase," one of the more intimate songs off of Crescendo of Silence. It's an interesting road for this one, filled with spoken word poetry, interpretive dance, and a little bit of romantic sorcery.
