A Winged Victory For The Sullen – Atomos – Full Length (CD)

Description

After releasing a first glimpse in the form of the Atomos VII EP earlier this year, A WINGED VICTORY FOR THE SULLEN reveal their second full-length album entitled Atomos which sees the duo introduce flurries of electronics, harp and modular synthesizers to their sound in the follow-up to the 2011 self- titled album. In 2013 AWVFTS caught the ear of WAYNE MCGREGOR, founder of Random Dance Company and resident choreographer at the Royal Ballet, who is perhaps best known for his choreography work on the Radiohead video ‘Lotus Flower’ as well as ‘Ingenue by Atoms For Peace. McGregor used the debut album as the warm-up music during practice sessions for Random, and after noticing the group’s reaction with the music, he contacted ADAM and DUSTIN to see if they would write the score for his new work. Given complete artistic freedom, the duo treated the score with the same care and attention as their debut full-length by recording more than sixty minutes of music over a four-month period across studios in Brussels, Berlin and Reykjavik with the help of their long time collaborative sound engineer FRANCESCO DONADELLO. During the process they came to the realization that this would become their official second studio album. McGregor provided them with the inspiration to expand their sound palette into more electronic territory, whilst keeping their signature chamber sound, resulting in a very unique release. LP to follow. No Export to Europe or the UK.
