A Winged Victory for the Sullen A Winged Victory for the Sullen

“A Winged Victory for the Sullen was born from a chance encounter between Adam Wiltzie (Stars of the Lid, etc.) and Dustin O’Halloran (Dévics). Both composers exist within a network of contemporary, independent “post-classical” musicians still seeking proper definition. Never elevating into manipulative crescendo or descending into despair or cynicism, A Winged Victory for the Sullen is finally a subtle, profound (and profoundly mature) work of mourning and redemption composed by two musicians at the height of their craft.” - Max Power, Tiny Mix Tapes

“A Winged Victory For The Sullen’s self-titled debut is a nocturnal meditation for solitary contemplation, a celestial incantation to silence all commotion. While Wiltzie and O’Halloran both have their obvious contemporaries to draw parallels between (Hammock; EnoFrahm; Arnalds), this emotive disc balances a hushed intimacy and vast expanse that places it in a unique sonic terrain.” - Sam Cleeve, Drowned in Sound
