Band: Thunderclap
Song: “47”
Album: Inebriocean
Release Date: March 29th, 2019
Label: Financial Ruin
Guitarist Ale Gasso said of the track:
“The whole album plays on a theme – the Inebriocean. The ocean represents the darkness and despair of an inebriated life – nearly drowning yet thriving in a dangerous place where one has lost control. ’47’ falls right in the middle of the album as the climax of the journey in the Inebriocean. The song itself tells the story of a card game as a metaphor for the inner workings of a dive bar. The same rules apply. ‘All in at the table. All in at the bar. Once it’s thrown down, we all know we won’t be going too far.”
The song features a guest spot by singer Rachel Ryder. Guitarist/vocalist Todd Rockhill spoke of the collaboration, offering:
“I remember watching Rachel’s band, Towers Of Hanoi, play here in Gainesville. I was always impressed by her range and the crazy things she could do with her voice. When I was putting the vocal together for ’47’ I heard in my head something I knew I couldn’t do. When we were demoing the track, I sent her a message out of the blue asking if she would be interested. She showed up about an hour later and absolutely nailed it. I can’t imagine this song without her now.”
