World’s First Cinema has announced their debut album, Something of Wonder, set to be released July 11th, 2025 via Fearless Records. Along with the news, they have released the introspective track “End of My Rope”, which reflects “the struggle of chasing your dreams and goals but not seeing the results.”
The duo of John Sinclair and Fil Thorpe says:
This song means a lot to us and speaks to a feeling I think almost all musicians and creatives can relate to. Feeling like you work so hard for your craft and are constantly met with roadblocks or lack of progress can be very disheartening.
The duo continues to push cinematic boundaries on the new album.
They say:
We’ve done heavily cinematic songs, really dark rocky songs, and orchestral piano ballads – we wanted our debut album to encompass all of these elements into a sonic journey that is glued together by the cinematic production tone we’ve always had.
Their music remains rooted in the influences of film scores which has always been part of their sound and identity. Having the opportunity to work on a full album rather than an EP has allowed them to incorporate a wider range of sonic influences. The record was produced in collaboration with Fran Hall (Imagine Dragons, ZAYN) and features London-based rapper JD Cliffe.
