Ep. 36: From Silence to Somewhere - Wobbler (feat. Wobbler)

Destin and Drew are joined by Marius Halleland and Kristian Hultgren of Wobbler to discuss their critically acclaimed 2017 album From Silence To Somewhere. The music of Wobbler can easily fit into the categories of retro-prog or symphonic prog, as the influences of the early prog pioneers can be heard in the tones of the instruments, the structures of the songs, and the inclusion of side-long epics throughout its discography. However, From Silence To Somewhere carves an identity of its own with its dramatic compositions set within a fantasy motif. In addition to providing a bit of band history, Marius and Kristian illumine listeners with the larger concepts so elegantly expressed on this incredibly imaginative record. They contend that while the album touches on solemn subjects pertaining to life and death, it also includes moments of levity with a wacky character locked up in a medieval tower obsessing over alchemy. From Silence To Somewhere harkens back to an older time, both in terms of music as well as its conceptual setting, and the commentary from Marius and Kristian adds a new perspective to this ambitious album.
