Victory Shorts

VINYL FORMAT. Born to the sounds of Barry Manilow and The Carpenters, raised on romantic comedies, and schooled in failed love and misfiring lust, Absentee emerges well-versed in the rigors of romance with their finest album to date, Victory Shorts. Finding a seat between unreachable romanticism and hopeless realism, Victory Shorts offers lush mini romantic tragedies for those who thought Casablanca ended a little too abruptly. Marked with the influence of Johnny Cash, Pavement, and The Velvet Underground, produced/engineered/mixed by Nick Terry (Klaxons, Libertines, Bernard Butler), and shot through with the originality and humor one has come to expect from Absentee, Victory Shorts stands alone as the band's strongest, most honest work yet.
