Dustin O'Halloran and Adam Wiltzie formed A Winged Victory For The Sullen and announced the release of their debut, self-titled record earlier this year. It promises a great deal and delivers even more. I can't speak for the rest of this website's writers, but it has been spun many, many times and provoked a range of emotions for me.
There's already been a taste of the record in 'Steep Hills of Vicodin Tears' but now there's more, much more. You can stream the entire album below. It is slow-paced, but utterly worth immersing yourself in, not that you can do anything else once you press play. Off you go...
A Winged Victory For The Sullen is released in Europe on September 12, through Erased Tapes. Pre-order that from here. It is also being released through Kranky on September 13, in North America. That pre-order link is here.

Beautiful stuff
Such an incredibly restrained, beautiful piece of art. Brings out so many different thoughts and emotions as you move through the songs, you just find yourself drifting away and forgetting about what your were doing. On first listen I can't think of a better record I've heard all year.
Beautiful.
The last a piece of music moved me so much was when I first heard King Creosote & Jon Hopkins - Diamond Mine. This has an emotional impact. I'm getting it when it comes out.
excellent webmaster
