Winged Victory for the Sullen

Winged Victory for the Sullen

2011 release, the first installment for the new collaboration project between Stars of the Lid member Adam Wiltzie and composer Dustin O'Halloran. Their secret to harvesting new melodic structures from the thin air of existence was for the duo to push themselves to live dangerously, realizing that clear thinking at the wrong moment could stifle the compositions. The final result is seven landscapes of harmonic replicating ingemination. Notable guest musicians include Icelandic cellist Hildur Gudnadottir, and violinist Peter Broderick. This is not a side project. This is the future of the late night record you have always dreamed of.
