For the curious: The title translates to "the lesser of victories"

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

As for the genre, no idea. But the band, 1900, have two albums on spotify and they're obviously on youtube.

I'd also check out Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. Closest thing I know to them.

While certainly experimental, I was reminded most of the slower side of jazz. The old school horn and gritty sound quality are more reminiscent of Dixieland, however, it's not hot enough to embrace that label. The vamping of the keys and straight playing are better described as sweet or even sickly. Maybe something in the genre of blues or cool jazz would be the best comparison. I was going to recommend some cooler tunes by Chet Baker and Miles Davis, but it was Louisiana Delta blues that brought out the same feelings of sorrow and hopefulness I got listening to the linked song. This explains the connection to Nathaniel Rateliff as well as the similarity I felt to DJ Champion.
