A Winged Victory For The Sullen – So That The City Can Begin To Exist (Invisible Cities, 2021) (Video)

“When viscous silence instead of a thousand faceless words fills your insides. When the gray colors of gloomy cities remain on the horizon. When two worlds unite – the world of Neoclassical and Ambient, the immersion into the new single A Winged Victory For The Sullen – So That The City Can Begin To Exist begins.”

“Когда вязкая тишина вместо тысячи безликих слов заполняет твоё нутро. Когда серые краски угрюмых городов остаются за горизонтом. Когда соединяются два мира – мир Neoclassical и Ambient, начинается погружение в новый сингл A Winged Victory For The Sullen – So That The City Can Begin To Exist. ”
