The Southern Sounding and the "synth-pop elation" of "Tonight" by The Late Innings

PREMIERE

"A brilliant blend of synth-pop and indie rock instincts, a sound as elusive as it is compelling,
says The Southern Sounding. “Sinex creates this noise as a way to explore the lines connecting the glistening AM radio pop of the late ‘70s to the shivering synth atmospheres of new wave. It’s a welcome blast of new wave nostalgia, DIY college rock unconformity and synth-pop elation." New single "Tonight" by The Late Innings out today. Thanks always to The Southern Sounding for the kind words!

The Late Innings earns a rave review from Babysue; New album out Sept. 6th

ALBUM REVIEW

Praise for the upcoming album by The Late Innings and main-man Vincent Sinex from the venerable Babysue zine. "Wild Places spins like a best of collection. Sinex is influenced by 1980s bands like XTC, Magazine, and Echo and the Bunnymen, but his own music is much more accessible. This talented fellow uses ideas and sounds from his favorite bands as a diving board to create his own upbeat feelgood musical universe. The more we spin this one the more absorbing it becomes."

Is Vincent Sinex a pseudonym?

It may be hard to convince you otherwise after listening to Wild Places, Sinex’s upcoming new solo album as The Late Innings, out Sept. 6th. The Los Angeles native’s music sounds like his name. It rides that edge of time when the late 1970s became the early 1980s. When pop became new wave. When AM became FM.

“I have been recording since my early 20’s when I first got a four-track cassette recorder, a couple of guitars and a drum machine,” Sinex says. “I was inspired by the performances in the 1982 concert film ‘Urgh! A Music War,’ which captured the energy, intensity, and diverse sounds of 80’s new wave bands. When I saw groups like XTC, Magazine, and Echo and The Bunnymen in that film, it made me want to pick up a guitar and try to make that kind of music myself.”
