A Winged Victory for the Sullen, a collaboration between Adam Wiltzie and Dustin O’Halloran, released their self titled debut LP last month on Kranky. The album combines the droney soundscapes of Adam Wiltzie’s Stars of the Lid project with the gentle classical-tinged piano work of Dustin O’Halloran’s solo work. It was recorded onto analog tape in large acoustic spaces using old pianos, strings, horns, and other traditional instruments. The album features guest musicianship from Peter Broderick and Hildur Gudnadottir. You can download album track “Steep Hills of Vicodin Tears” at the top of this post.

The duo are heading out on a North American tour at the end of this month with Kranky labelmates Benoît Pioulard and Ken Camden. That tour hits NYC on October 30 at West Park Presbyterian Church. Tickets are on sale now.
