S05E07 – Under Ice

Come skate past the trees with us as we discuss the second track on side two of Hounds of Love, the minimalist Under Ice. The song may only last two and a half minutes and have few instruments in the production, but what Under Ice does in that time will make you feel like you’re in a different world. To discuss this song, we have Patreon supporter Paul Muelhbach, who was last on the show in the Cloudbusting episode, calling from Germany. We talk about the psychological implications of this song, the tense atmosphere, how this song was performed live in the Before the Dawn shows, and how it fits into the overarching story of The Ninth Wave!
