A Winged Victory For The Sullen – Steep Hills Of Vicodin Tears by erasedtapes

A Winged  Victory For The Sullen were the subject of The Guardian’s New Band  of The Day this week. And very happy we were with it too:

“The self-titled A Winged Victory … debut album is at that  quiet  intersection where modern classical and ambient meet post-rock.  It’s the sort of thing you might expect from music made using grand   pianos, a string quartet, French horn and bassoon, in a vast   ecclesiastical space (the Grunewald church) in Berlin.”

Read the full feature by the venerable Paul Lester here.
Stream or even download the sublime ‘Steep Hills Of Vicodin Tears’ above, taken from the A Winged Victory For The Sullen’s eponymous debut  album out 12th September on Erased  Tapes.
