We are very excited to announce the release date of Midnight Cinema‘s debut album, Lightning in a Bottle as August 26th. The album is the follow up to their 2013 self-titled EP release from Midnight Cinema. The EP was critically acclaimed and was received extremely well by longtime fans – fans that had been following them since their days in Thriving Ivory. They have released a music video for their song, Edge of the Earth which is on the upcoming album. Check out the video here:
The song is absolutely amazing and once again highlights the art of their music with emotionally driven songs that truly connect a listener to their emotions. It is touching inspirational song that can easily be described as that reassuring hug from a friend, or the comforting hand reaching out to you and guiding you and lifting you up. About the video, “It was amazing how many friends stepped up and wanted to help us with this project, sometimes offering to work for free. We shot the video with Michael here in the Bay Area, which has a plethora of amazing backdrops. We would be driving around and say, ‘I know this spot here,’ and just head over and shoot. In the end, we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.”
The album Lighting in a Bottle can be pre-ordered by visiting: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/lightning-in-a-bottle/id906066537. LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE is the product of the band taking full control of their music. They produced it from front to back, something they’d never done before. This is one album that I am truly looking forward to.
“We really feel like we’ve come a long way over the past couple of years. We’ve had a lot of time to sit and think about the kind of music we want to make and who we are as musicians. In the end, we’re still the same guys who just want to write good songs that revolve around themes that people can relate to. The difference now is that we have the freedom to explore different sounds while still remaining true to ourselves. I think Midnight Cinema is modern, thematic, and catchy in a way that has staying power. We’re excited for everyone to hear the music and hope that they discover something special for themselves,” notes Midnight Cinema vocalist Clayton Stroope.
“Working in the studio is something that we’ve always loved doing. We’ve learned so much over the years; working alongside some amazing artists and producers. We thought that making our own record was something that we would like to try. I even got a chance to mix most of the songs on the album, which was a massive challenge. The same mix of a song would sound different to me on any given day. You end up listening to it so many times, it’s easy to lose perspective. I think I was able to get it right, I’m just glad the feedback so far has been really positive,” adds Cribley.
If you are located in the Bay Area, I hope you join us as Midnight Cinema will be performing on September 7th at The Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco with Barcelona and The Young Wild.
