+ Daniel Wohl

We are delighted to bring Erased Tapes A Winged Victory for the Sullen to the unique atmosphere of St George’s Church.

A Winged Victory for the Sullen have nurtured a cult status over the past decade. The pair, made up of Dustin O’Halloran and Adam Wiltzie, have carved out a grand, stirring sound amongst the neoclassical and ambient world.

Since their 2011 self-titled debut, the duo have emerged as part of a much-lauded scene alongside peers like Max Richter, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Tim Hecker and Fennesz. They count the likes of Jon Hopkins among their fans, who included ‘Requiem For The Static King Part One’ on his 2015 Late Night Tales compilation. They composed the score for Invisible Cities, a specially-created performance to herald 2019’s Manchester International Festival, and have played some of the world’s most celebrated venues, including a sold out Boiler Room performance at London’s Barbican, and a 2015 BBC Proms show curated by Mary Anne Hobbs at the Royal Albert Hall.

Now, A Winged Victory for the Sullen make a bold return with their new album “The Undivided Five”. A debut for Ninja Tune, heradling a location change for O’Halloran, who, after a decade in Berlin is headed to Iceland, an important connection for both band members.
