Boston's Victory at Sea is touring Europe in support of their new release "Memories Fade" on gern blandsten records (who put out the completely unrelated but highly notable Weston album 'A real life story of teenage rebellion')... and will be at Kafe Kult this Friday, March 10th...

gern blandsten describes Victory at Sea:

VICTORY AT SEA makes sound that is as morose as it is beautiful, as stunning as it is melancholy. Since their inception in 1994, comparisons have been made to the likes of BLACK HEART PROCESSION, BRIGHT EYES, and even PJ HARVEY, yet the band’s fragmented, spectral songs maintain a haunting dissonance all their own. Mining deep psychic strata, VICTORY AT SEA skillfully exposes raw nerve to dim light, knowing when to musically tiptoe into trauma as well as how to break through with sonic fury.
