A Winged Victory for the Sullen is an American ambient music duo composed of Dustin O'Halloran and Adam Wiltzie.[1][2][3] They have released four studio albums, an EP, and one soundtrack album. In 2015, they performed at the Royal Albert Hall as part of The Proms.[citation needed]

The duo met while Wiltzie was on tour with Sparklehorse in Bologna, Wiltzie commenting in a 2021 interview that "We just clicked—it's really easy to write music together".[4]

They composed the original score for Atomos, for Wayne McGregor's dance company. It premiered at Sadler's Wells Theatre, London, in 2013. An album of the score, Atomos, was also published.[5] Their third studio album, The Undivided Five, was released by Ninja Tune in 2019.[6] Their latest, Invisible Cities, came out in 2021.
