Hard Pan to Chaos was recorded in the hull of Shipwrecked Studio with reckless abandon and gritty fortitude. Everything that matters will find you sooner or later and the rest just swallow the dirt. The Infamous Dr. Thunder and Mister December awake several months later from a smuggle-filled slumber. In a desperate attempt to make sense of their surroundings, The Old Smugglers take stock of what they know to be the facts. The hull of Shipwrecked Studio lay in total chaos, dripping with the sweat of a thousand cursed singers and stinking of a rich mixture of reckless abandon and gritty fortitude. A stream of obscenities ring through the hallway as a train screeches down the avenue and whistles its blistering call into the dark bone chill. A tiny audio recording device was discovered on the navigation desk. Our heroes pushed the play button and wept with great joy as the slow burn turned to a cacophonous wail. Suddenly the joyous feeling was replaced with the fear that something was terribly wrong. The Old Smugglers quickly ran to the boiler room and started fiddling with knobs and valves assuming they know how to contain the pressure that’s slowly building. After a near meltdown and sailing off course, The Old Smugglers are caught in a blizzard of ineptitude and blinding regret. Hard Pan to Chaos was recorded in the hull of Shipwrecked Studio with reckless abandon and gritty fortitude. Everything that matters will find you sooner or later and the rest just swallow the dirt.
