Holy smokes, The Sea At Midnight is here and they’re not joking! Vince Grant, the mastermind behind this LA-based project, just dropped a new banger called “Our Brilliant Destruction.” Let me tell you, this track is hot off the press and it’s got climate change in its crosshairs. Chris King, the guy who’s worked his magic with Cold Showers and Kai Tak, produced this bad boy. This single is just a preview of what’s coming in their new EP, Burning. Spoiler alert: it’s gonna be all about our planet going up hot in climate change and environmental issues.
From the second you begin playing “Our Brilliant Destruction,” you’re in for good. The guitar kicks in with this gritty, in-your-face riff that’ll make your hair stand on end. You can feel the frustration in every word Grant belts out. The way he mixes hard-hitting lyrics with the melodies is imposing. He’s touching some heavy stuff, but in a rock ‘n’ roll way that’ll have you bobbing your head and pumping your fist.
Lyrically, Grant’s really staying true to his roots with “Our Brilliant Destruction.” It’s like he took the raw emotion from “Chopping Them Down” and “Wait For Rain” and cranked it up a notch. Those earlier tracks? They were pretty bleak, painting a grim picture of our planet’s future. But this new one? It’s got a different vibe. Sure, it’s still urgent as hell – I mean, we’re talking about climate change here – but there’s a glimmer of hope too. It’s like Grant’s saying, “Yeah, things are bad, but we’re not down for the count yet.” And that chorus? It’s gonna get stuck in your head, making you want to belt it out and maybe even do something about this mess we’re in.
February’s coming up fast, and with it, the drop of “Burning.” This new track (“Our Brilliant Destruction”) shows The Sea At Midnight isn’t just making noise – he’s trying to say something that matters. If you’re into rock or give a damn about the environment (or both), this one’s yours. Maybe it’ll light a fire under your ass to make a change.
