‘Wait For Rain’ is a synthy alternative track that works with both 80s and modern influences to deliver an important message. The mix in it stands out, as the stereo utilization allows for clarity, even as some instruments are louder with their distortion. The guitar filtering makes them ethereal but also gives them a cutting tone. The bass synths flow well, and the drums give a great baseline for the energy as it rises and falls. The intro ushers things in well with the bright synth-led instrumentals. Then, when the first verse cuts in, the energy bumps down a bit and then bumps back up just enough for a powerful but not overwhelming chorus. Additionally, things end with an instrumental that has intricate guitars. Musically, it’s lifelike front to back. The lyrics in this track explore climate change and drought, pushing poeticism and emotion into a story of waiting for rain in a drought.

Los Angeles, California-based rock band The Sea at Midnight consists of singer and songwriter Vince Grant and production by Chris King. They mesh genres such as post-punk, new wave, and synth-pop to create a diverse musical experience. Though they released ‘Wait For Rain’ on October 4th of last year, the message speaks volumes as wildfires in California are still being contained. Many have lost their homes, and some even their lives. Many are trying to rebuild their lives, and all proceeds from the purchase of this single on Bandcamp will go towards those affected by these fires. This track was written about a very real issue, so it makes sense to wonder what will impact the writing of The Sea at Midnight moving forward!
