A Winged Victory for the Sullen – Atomos VII

This 12″ EP “Atomos VII” is the eagerly awaited follow-up to the 2011 self-titled debut of A Winged Victory for the Sullen (core members Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie and Dustin O’Halloran, usually performing with different guest artists).

There are three tracks on this 25 minute EP album: two versions of “Atomos VII” (the second one being a remix by Ben Frost) and “Minuet for a Cheap Piano Part II”, an outtake from the debut album.

The “Atomos VII“ tracks were composed for a dance piece by Random Dance Company’s choreographer Wayne McGregor (also known as ‘movement director’ from “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”!).

The first two tracks are “classic” AWftS material: the first a quiet, stretched, ‘post-classical’ string arrangements, and the second a beautiful piano-arrangement.
The 13 minute Ben Frost remix strays into a more electronic – but equally immersive – sound than usual.

The opening track will appear on the full album (to be released later this year); the other two tracks are available on this vinyl/download release only.
