Victoire
Biography
Victoire, a Brooklyn-based band founded by composer Missy Mazzoli, has been dubbed an "all-star, all-female quintet" by Time Out New York. This quirky ensemble combines strings, clarinets, keyboards and lo-fi electronics (including samples of sewing machines and answering machine tapes) to create their "minimalist, post-rock bliss". Victoire is as much a child of composer Philip Glass as of instrumental post-rock ensembles Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Sigur Rós.
