Search - Victory at Sea :: Carousel

Victory at Sea make sound that is as morose as it is beautiful, as stunning as it is depressive. The tools they rely on are simple: an electric guitar, a bass guitar, drums. Mining deep psychic strata, the trio skillfully exposes raw nerve to dim light, knowing when to musically tiptoe into trauma as well as how to break through with ferocity. Carousel is as succinct a statement as Victory at Sea has ever made. In this music-as-commerce world it can sound almost too real. If you haven't already fallen victim to the twin sirens of derivative song and rock gloss, you may find Carousel utterly seductive, in turn warming and chilling in its depths.
