After releasing a first glimpse in the form of the ‘Atomos VII’ EP earlier this year, A Winged Victory For The Sullen finally reveal their second full-length album entitled ‘Atomos’, which besides familiar piano, string and drone sounds also sees the duo introduce flurries of electronics, harp and modular synthesisers.  

Wayne McGregor, founder of Random Dance Company and resident choreographer at the Royal Ballet, chose to play the album repeatedly during practices with his core group of dancers. After noticing the group's reaction with the music, he contacted Adam and Dustin to see if they could write the score for his new oeuvre. The duo were given complete artistic freedom and they treated the score with the same care and attention as their debut album. They recorded more than sixty minutes of music over a four-month period during the summer of 2013 across studios in Brussels, Berlin and Reykjavik, with the help of their long time collaborative sound engineer Francesco Donadello. During the recording process they realised, 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 record.  

“As a wise man once said, one who procrastinates their own choosing will inevitably have their choice served to them by circumstance. We had virtually no time for second guessing ourselves. That being said, we tried to balance the discordance between being creative, and fulfilling our duties for a commissioned soundtrack with a very strict deadline, and all the while staying true to our collective melancholy.‘’ – Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie  

“We never imagined 2013 would be such an explosively creative year. The first record took us two years from start to finish, but in the micro span of time over last summer we were able to change the formula for the way we write, record, and let go. It was incredibly liberating.” – Dustin O’Halloran

There's something timeless about Grace Lightman. Maybe it's that honeyed voice that ever-so gently tugs at your heartstrings. Perhaps it's those careful and considered nods to the iconic moments, faces and places of musical history. Or it could be the turn and twist of her songs, at once both familiar and fresh. Ultimately, it all adds up to be something unique, borrowing from, redrafting and bridging the then and now. 

Her debut outing 'Vapour Trails' is four and half minutes of pure, crystalline beauty. Calling to mind the delicacy of 'The Sensual World' era Kate Bush and the intricate arrangements of Judee Sill, it works around a simple piano line and aching vocal, building up into a squall of military drums, French horn and an overall sense of soaring, genuine intensity. There's something rare going on here; the kind of track that seems to grow and change every time you listen, that collects and respects the roots and branches of its making, but builds something totally new with and around them. 

Following a period fronting London psych-rockers The Hypnotic Eye, Grace Lightman found herself suddenly solo and keen to draw her influences and passions - the warped weirdness of Vincent Gallo films, the swagger and style of Debbie Harry, and the understated musical sensuality of Francois Hardy and Nico -  into something of her own. Armed with an agenda, Grace sought out a like-minded collaborator and found herself in the East London basement studio of producer PJ Pearson (Liu Bei). Bonding over a mutual love of the Twilight Zone and torch songs, the pair began creating a set of songs, the first of which was 'Vapour Trails'.

Wolf Prize - "Come Home"

I'm From Somewhere

Lyrics:

You bet it on hope and now I know there is one
If you're ready I will see the moment is done
Is it of you though, I'm not buying I feel what you're settling on

You were running down the hall and I stayed slow enough
Every minute I was stinging I saw 'em
Is it of you though, I'm not buying I feel what you're settling on
Here I hear no one

You bet it on a hope and now I know there is one
If you're riding on a hope sit down
Is it of you though, I'm not buying I feel what you're settling on
You were running for a house in the fire
Push'em ready and a heartbeat's enough
You're sleeping with a hand in the fire
They say I'm nervous, oh am I

Don't you notice I had a lung full, I had a song for you
And I breathe in you
You were running down the hall and I stayed slow enough
Every minute I was singing I swear I could give up
Don't you notice I had a lung full, I had a song for you
That I break, It's you.

Loss

MaJLo - Another Day

I'm lost then focused
I turn around and notice
We are more than kids 
Growing up like this

I woke up with a feeling 
A face on my ceiling 
Tears fall every time I think of leaving 
Mess around and I tell you how it is
What's the deal please tell me if it's real
No trust got me losing my shit
I got it back so I'm never gonna quit
Just tell me
Just tell me now 

I'm lost then focused
I turn around and notice
We are more than kids 
Growing up like this


And I won't stop can't stop 
This is how it is this is how it is
And I won't stop can't stop 
This is how it is


Some people 
Call me crazy 
And at other times lazy
It doesn't even phase me  
I'm high off what he gave me
Get it in gotta live can't change me
Lately
I've been feeling so alone
With a message on my phone 
Telling me you wanna go
And I wish I knew better 
I wish I knew

I'm lost then focused
I turn around and notice
We are more than kids 
Growing up like this

And I won't stop can't stop 
this is how it is this is how it is 
And I won't stop can't stop 
This is how it is 


And I just wanna fight this feeling  
I just wanna fight this feeling 
Can we just fight this feeling 

And I won't stop can't stop 
this is how it is this is how it is 
And I won't stop can't stop 
This is how it is
