To coincide with the news of the debut album, Cinema Stereo are pleased to announce the release of their new single “Expectations.” The new single is available on all streaming platforms HERE. Stream the lyric video for “Expectations” on YouTube HERE.
Produced by acclaimed Nashville producer Paul Moak, 12:34 is the culmination of years of songwriting, touring, and creative exploration. The album captures a band coming into its own across twelve songs that feel both deeply personal and sonically adventurous. Exploring themes of growing up, chasing dreams, relationships, self-doubt, hope, and finding clarity in life’s defining moments, 12:34 serves as both a snapshot in time and a bold introduction to one of Nashville’s most exciting emerging bands.
Rather than settling into one sound, 12:34 constantly evolves. Atmospheric textures layered vocal harmonies, shimmering guitars, synths, infectious melodies, and dynamic production create an album that rewards repeat listens. Every song occupies its own emotional space while contributing to a larger story that unfolds from beginning to end.
Working with Cinema Stereo was such a fun, exciting adventure. Ian’s songs are a fury of his creative energy matched with Seb’s guitars jumping out of the speakers. The band is so creative and exciting to be around. Every day the boys would walk in with fresh ideas for layers on the songs. This album was a true joy, and I’ve been lucky enough to see the energy live as well. Definitely go see them because it’s on another level!! – Paul Moak

Originally from Orlando, Florida and now based in Nashville, Cinema Stereo have steadily built a reputation for fearless songwriting, emotionally honest lyrics, and captivating live performances. Drawing inspiration from artists including Queen, The Police, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, The Killers, and contemporary alternative music, the trio has developed a sound that feels cinematic, melodic, and unmistakably their own.
The album was recorded at The Smoakstack in Nashville with producer Paul Moak, engineered by Zack Zinck with assistant engineer Brendon Hapgood, mixed by Paul Moak, and mastered by Sam Moses. The striking album artwork was created by legendary pop artist Kii Arens, whose vibrant visual style perfectly complements the record’s spirit and colourful personality.
Following the release of 12:34, Cinema Stereo will embark on their first full European and UK headline tour, bringing the new album to audiences across Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom throughout October, November, and December 2026.
With 12:34, Cinema Stereo confidently announce themselves as one of the most exciting new voices in alternative rock delivering a debut that is ambitious, emotionally rich, and filled with songs that invite listeners back again and again.
