“Full of smart, catchy electro-pop hooks with subversive production details to keep listeners guessing. There’s real depth to Greg Walters’ voice, as well as a natural, organic feel to the music.” – NPR
“Highly danceable, joyous electro-pop, at times veering toward the orchestral.” – New York Magazine
“Makes us want to ditch all our responsibilities and cruise down to the beach for a bonfire…
Big things are in store for Tiny Victories.” – NYLON
The Sleepover Party is excited to share the video for “Drinking With Your Ghost” from Tiny Victories‘ upcoming full-length Haunts, due June 10, 2014. The Brooklyn-based duo premiered the Brian Levi Bowman-directed video via The Wild Honey Pie, which called the track “broodingly powerful… a haunting piece that sounds exactly like being stuck in a constant stream of memories.” The video features the band performing among a conspiracy of ravens in a dark, swirling digital world. Haunts is now available for CD and 500 pressing limited-edition white vinyl pre-order HERE, and an iTunes pre-order is available for $7.99, which includes an instant download of “Drinking With Your Ghost.” The “Drinking With Your Ghost” video is available for streaming and embedHERE.

Tiny Victories’ new album, produced and mixed by industry veteran Alex Aldi (Passion PitHoly Ghost!) and mastered by Chris Gehringer (YeasayerChairliftJay-Z), is a statement of purpose-and a point of arrival. The songwriting has evolved in a more focused direction, with a tighter structure, while Greg Walters and Cason Kelly continue to build on the experimental sonic architecture that fascinated them in their early days. Synth lines cut through through the dense underbrush of electronic soundscapes, propelled forward by Cason’s relentless drumming. Greg’s self-assured voice soars above the commotion.

Haunts comes on the heels of the band’s critically acclaimed 2012 EP, Those Of Us Still Alive. Following that brief 5-song debut, NPR picked Tiny Victories as a band likely to break big nationally, hand-selected by WNYC’s own John Schaefer.  MTV Buzzworthy lauded the band’s “futuristic synths, squiggly samples and fist-pumping vocals” as sounding “like a big win to us,” while Time Out NY highlighted their “Bittersweet bangers…which should satisfy those craving a hit of lush, hooky MGMT-style dance-pop.” The band was invited to play Bonnaroo in 2013 and join the Bonnaroo 365 tour with White Denim and Maps & Atlases, as well as share bills with Ra Ra RiotBear Hands, Yellow Ostrich, Magic Man and more.
