Bianchi shares of the single: “I wrote ‘We Still Own the Night’ to promote a feeling of defiant love. Traditionally, the ‘night’ is something that brings about a certain sense of the unknown and fear. However, when we live a life of selfless love, there is nothing that can overcome us or that we can’t ‘transform’, even the darkest of nights. I wanted to affirm the reality that love can truly conquer whatever attempts to tear us down and separate us from having meaningful relationships and welcoming communities. Sometimes in our pursuit of innovation, as artists, we forget that the most important goal is connection. This song wants to connect with the listener and join with them in a spirit of true and fearless love. If the first and last word is love, there is nothing we cannot overcome. It was with that intention in mind that we created a restless energy with the musical arrangement. It surges and moves forward in a tireless way, weaving together the synth and guitar in an anthemic way where moments are transformed in an expression of defiant love and fear is abandoned forever.”
Drawing from a diverse spectrum of influences including The Beatles, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, and Tom Petty, Vanishing Shores weaves a sonic tapestry that blends classic rock with a modern indie sensibility. Their music, reminiscent of luminaries like Paul McCartney and Lindsey Buckingham, invites listeners into a world where emotion reigns supreme.
Lyrically, Vanishing Shores eschews traditional storytelling, opting instead for capturing fleeting moments and emotions. Their songs serve as snapshots of experience, offering insights into the complexities of human relationships and the beauty found within life’s struggles.
Kevin Bianchi, a multi-instrumentalist and producer, brings a wealth of musical expertise to the band, crafting intricate guitar melodies, soulful piano and bass lines, and producing albums that push the boundaries of indie rock.
With an impressive discography including releases such as the self-titled Vanishing Shores EP (2018), “Bande-son Pour La Survie” (2020), “Maps” (2021), and the “St. Francis” EP (2022), as well as the electrifying “Dead Language” live album (2022), Vanishing Shores continues to captivate audiences with their infectious melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.
Beyond their solo endeavors, Vanishing Shores has collaborated with notable artists such as Bill Mallonee of Vigilantes of Love and shared the stage with luminaries like James McCartney. Rooted in a lifelong passion for songwriting, the band’s early musical background fuels their relentless pursuit of musical excellence.
“We Still Own the Night” is a testament to Vanishing Shores’ commitment to authenticity and emotional exploration. Through their music, the band invites audiences to embark on a journey of self-discovery, where every note serves as a testament to the power of music to heal, inspire, and transcend.
