Noon Fifteen continues the leadup to the release of Finish What You Started with “Barricades,” a contemplative ballad about courage in the face of rising fascism. The band discusses the long road the song took to its final arrangement, while considering how the lyrics only became more relevant over that time. They sing the praises of producer/engineer/studio wizard Chris Ploss. They also discuss their strategies for Chessboxing.


In the final episode of the Volume 1 podcast, Mandy talks about channeling loneliness, Billie Holiday, and Ben Folds into “Hang Me Out to Dry.” The band also talks about choosing keyboard instruments, putting songs in order, and what’s next.
