It was directed by Stephen S. Taylor.

Praise for Victoire:

“Is Victoire’s music post-rock, post-mimimalist or pseudo-post-pre-modernist indie-chamber-electronica? It doesn’t particularly matter. It’s just good music.” – NPR

“Both familiar and entirely foreign, the music of the Brooklyn-based band could easily be the soundtrack to your dreams-assuming you are a fever-stricken genius.” – Paste Magazine

“While creating a new flavor of chamber rock, the group preserves the integrity of all genres they combine… each song is rich with depth and mystery, and there’s just enough chaos to keep a fine storm brewing. 4 stars.” – Venus Zine

“Other chamber ensembles have pushed boundaries in the 21st Century, but Victoire does so in a way that feels completely natural…Cathedral City is an exciting arrival.” – ALARM Magazine
