About | “Our Secret” by The Late Innings
“Glistening
synths waves, grounded by sonorous trumpets. Irresistibly catchy,” says Glamglare in its premiere
coverage of “Our Secret,” the
lead single from the upcoming new album by The
Late Innings. Listen

“Our
Secret,” the first single from the
upcoming new album by The Late Innings,
sounds straight out of the era of high-waisted pants, even higher hair, and
Day-Glo-decorated keytars, but the message is darker. “Our Secret” is a song about a guy who returns to his favorite
vacation spot, only to find that it is now overrun by tourists.
“I think of this track less like a ‘song of the summer’
and more like a ‘song of the bummer,” Vincent
Sinex of The Late Innings
half-jokes. Sinex recalls, “We went
to a beach that seemingly no one knew about, and we had the whole place to
ourselves that afternoon. After that trip, I thought, ‘The next time I want to
go back there, will it still be a secret, especially since in the age of social
media, nothing is a secret anymore?”

About | The Late
Innings
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 album’s lead single “Our Secret”
is streaming
everywhere now. 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.”
Based on those incredible influences, Sinex went on to teach himself some
recording basics, knock out a few cover tunes, write and record some songs of
his own, and ultimately form a short-lived band. Then, a ten-year detour into a
more institutional type of education followed, earning Sinex a Master’s degree in Computer Science, but keeping him from
music, and the march of technology.
“Once I had my degree, I returned to working on music,
but technology had changed a lot,” he remembers. “Even though I had new gear, I
initially struggled to write any new material.”
The dedicated science student that he is, Sinex decided to take an analytical
approach to writer’s block.
“I had to teach myself the craft of song construction,
so I got a bunch of songbooks by people I admired, and I started studying how
their songs were put together,” he explains. This exercise led Sinex out of his slump and to the
writing and recording of his debut album Arrived and Departed, released in
2015.
For Wild Places, Sinex performs everything you’ll hear, including the meticulously
layered background vocals. The album explores themes that are particular to
today’s cultural challenges, mostly relating to privacy in a society where
almost nothing is private anymore.
Well, almost nothing. Because if Vincent Sinex really is a pseudonym, that secret is still safe.
Wild Places,
the latest album by The Late Innings
arrives on Sept. 6th,
preceded by the single “Our Secret,”
streaming now. Vincent Sinex of The Late Innings is available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
