We’re thrilled to have with us today, Elias Vance, one half of the innovative duo known as World’s First Cinema. Elias,welcome to Archyde!

Elias Vance: Thanks for having me! Excited to be here.

the Cinematic Vision

Archyde: Your band name promptly sparks curiosity.How dose “World’s First Cinema” reflect the sound and artistry of your music,especially considering this new album,”Something of Wonder”?

Elias Vance: The name really encapsulates our core aspiration. from the beginning, we wanted to create music that feels like a movie score, capturing those grand, theatrical moments you experience in film. “Something of Wonder,” specifically, aims to transport the listener on a complete sonic journey – think of it as an aural film featuring elements we’ve always wanted to blend, from the dark undertones of rock to the vibrant energy of EDM, all guided by our cinematic approach.

‘Something of Wonder’: A Deep Dive

Archyde: “Something of Wonder” is set to launch on July 11th,which strategically coincides with your Warped Tour appearances.Can you share a bit about the creative influences and production of this debut album, especially with the sound that is coming from a mix of genres?

Elias Vance: Absolutely. We’ve poured everything into this debut. Collaborating with fran hall, who’s worked wonders with artists mentioned with a familiar sound such as imagine Dragons and ZAYN, really helped shape the album. we wanted to make an eclectic mix. The track “End of My Rope” is a prime sample of the diverse sounds we’re playing with on this album. We’ve got some incredibly cinematic songs, some darker, rock driven tracks, and some orchestral piano ballads—all unified by the overarching cinematic production style we’ve always been focused on.

Connecting with Listeners

Archyde: Your music, blending pop, EDM, and ’90s rock, seems designed to resonate with a broad audience. Do you see yourselves speaking to a new generation of rock enthusiasts?

Elias Vance: Definitely. We hope to fill that space. The genre-blending approach is partly about expanding listeners’ horizons. we have been really inspired by the bands like Twenty one Pilots, and we think there’s a willingness now among music fans to embrace a variety of sounds. We aim to provide something fresh yet familiar, that still have that cinematic tone, and hopefully something meaningful to listeners who appreciate a bit of everything.
