Dustin O'Halloran and Stars of the Lid member Adam Wiltzie perform together as A Winged Victory for the Sullen and this week released their sprawling, ambient Atomos LP. If you'd like to try before you buy, you can stream the whole thing now.

Atomos was conceived as the score for choreographer Wayne McGregor, who enlisted them to soundtrack his latest work. Dancing aside, the stand-alone album is an astonishing accomplishment. As a press release notes, it also sees the duo "introduce flurries of electronics, harp and modular synthesizers to their sound."
