New single from The Sea At Midnight

Based in Los Angeles, The Sea At Midnight is the musical endeavour created by singer-songwriter Vince Grant, a project that blends the moody vibes of dark wave with the energy and grit of alternative rock. Since debuting in 2020 with their self-titled album, The Sea At Midnight has won over fans across California and across the world with their meaningful songwriting and unique sound.

Under Vince’s direction, the band has delivered multiple singles, an EP and 2023’s critically acclaimed sophomore album, Too Close To The Sun. Collaboration has played a key role in the project’s journey, most notably with Marco Cattani of Chemical Waves. This partnership began when Marco discovered The Sea At Midnight’s debut single, “Medicine,” on a shared radio feature.

Their creative chemistry has since resulted in several works, including “Statues” on Chemical Waves’ album Lasting Forever and the environmentally conscious single “Burning.” Climate change remains a central theme in The Sea At Midnight’s recent work and their upcoming EP is set to focus entirely on this important topic.

Now they bring us their latest release with the new single titled “Our Brilliant Destruction,” a song given an even more profound meaning through its philanthropic purpose. Building on their mission of raising awareness about pressing global issues, all proceeds from the single’s Bandcamp sales will support victims of the recent wildfires in Los Angeles.

The urgency of the recent catastrophic events in the city makes the message behind “Our Brilliant Destruction” all the more vital, with The Sea At Midnight delivering stunning indie rock outing full of energising rhythm, moving writing and stunning vocal performance. Opened by the soft stretch of synth tones, delicate guitar plucks and pattering drums, Vince stitches emotive melodic lines into the enveloping sonic fabric, where his picture painting lyricism is framed in an anthemic arrangement.

Floating through gentle verses, invigorating choruses of sing-along energy and a rousing finale where crunchy guitar tones and bright synth elements collide, “Our Brilliant Destruction” offers an engrossing musical experience that’s at once important and musically relishable. With the proceeds from the song going to the victims of the wildfires in Los Angeles, the single offers both a stellar musical moment as well as a commendable opportunity to help those in desperate need.
