"All Your Things Are Gone" is the sixth soul-searing album from Victory at Sea, a band that once again has raised the bar on dark, female-fronted emotional rock music. On this release, Mona Elliott's deep, bluesy rasp strains to it's breaking point while the band sculpts songs from the raw viscera of heartbreak, despair, and even rage. Though often mentioned alongside Black Heart Procession and the Dirty Three, "All Your Things Are Gone" sets Victory at Sea a cut above all peers with possibly the most disquieting chapter in an already plenteous history. Vinyl. Gern Blandsten. 2006.
