Synopsis

Product Description
Victoire is a new chamber-rock ensemble founded by composer/pianist Missy Mazzoli. The group,
recently dubbed 'an all-star, all-female quintet' by Time Out New York, is part chamber group and part DIY
indie band, including everything in its sonic arsenal from winds and strings to keyboards and lo-fi electronics. Victoire performs Mazzoli's distinct blend of dreamy post rock, quirky minimalism and rich romanticism. Since forming in 2008 they have shared the stage with Tortoise, Twi the Humble Feather,
Redhooker and many others, performing at top venues including New York's Le Poisson Rouge, Galapagos Art Space, Roulette, The Stone and the Whitney Museum, Chicago's Millennium Park, and the Bang on a Can Marathon. In spring of 2009 they became the first classical artist to be featured on 'eMusic.com
Selects'. Cathedral City, Victoire's first full-length album, follows on the heels
of the group s debut EP, A Door into the Dark, which was released in
March 2009. Sonically, Cathedral City continues in the direction of its
predecessor, with rich, dark textures, solipsistic harmonies, and
sampling and electronics used to eerie effect. Cathedral City showcases a group that is mastering its sound, revealing the full extent
of Mazzoli's sweeping artistic vision.
