VINYL FORMAT. Victory at Sea have been compared to Black Heart Procession, Bright Eyes, and even PJ Harvey, but the band's fragmented, spectral songs maintain a haunting dissonance all their own. The lyrical melodies of Mona Elliott (formerly of Taang! Records' Spore) alternately warm and chill the listener with passion and ferocity, while electric piano and violin combine to elevate trauma to an art form not unlike The Cure's Disintegration. After touring with Polyvinyl's Mates of State, Victory at Sea wrote and recorded Memories Fade, surely the most poignant work to date from one of Boston's most beloved indie bands.
