The Blurb: The Victor Mourning perform acoustic anachronisms from another century that are firmly rooted in this one; sometimes raucous, sometimes quiet, mostly dark, and very southern. The songs are about grief torn outcasts and albinos. And then there's the one about the man who eats nothing but locusts and Campbell's soup.

The People: Bios

Spiritual Influences: Ancient American and British ballads, pre-WWII hillbilly music, abandoned shopping centers, vintage roadside hillbilly souvenirs, empty swimming pools, scythes, b&w films, snowglobes, flyover country, odd museums, the smell of old books, whiskey soap, gasoline & matchbooks, gutta percha, jewelry made of human hair, and the broken shores of Patagonia.

Music: Can be heard on our Myspace page.

Label Us: Dark Americana, country noir, gothic country, dark twang, the half barbaric yawp of ancestors who would shame you if you met them.
