Incremental progress. Monumental setbacks. Small victories. This is the story of American Opera. More than a record, Small Victories is a collection of moments, both devastating and victorious. Ominous nostalgia confronts hopeful reemergence. Sonically, think Manchester Orchestra meets Ryan Adams, Brand New meets Langhorne Slim - polished stones in a bed of gravel and grit. The result is a stunning eleven-song rollercoaster exploring a complete spectrum of emotion and experiences. It is an album of dynamics - a perfect balance of the fragile and explosive. By the end, we're reminded that sometimes the small victories were all that mattered in the first place - and that the silver linings were not just that after all, but rather small glimpses of a larger hope that can sustain us through even the most miserable of seas. Genre: Singer/Songwriter, Alternative, Folk RIYL: Ryan Adams, Manchester Orchestra, Jenny Lewis, Brand New
