New Venice Is Sinking Video - "Ryan's Song" (Stereogum Premiere)

Venice Is Sinking's second album AZAR is out at the end of March. It's been three years since their debut Sorry About The Flowers, so in this Jason Miller and Ethan Payne-directed video, the Athens, Georgia quintet are taken out of storage and propped in place to perform "Ryan's Song," the collection's dreamy lead track. It feels a bit like Ida affixed to a bubbling Sea & Cake undertow. Vocalists Daniel Lawson and Karolyn Troupe navigate the band through the cardboard, packing tape, and bubble wrap.

Take this one home:

Venice Is Sinking - "Ryan's Song" (MP3)

I was wondering how long it take before someone made a "she's hot" comment. Not that she's not hot...she is! I think the video's pretty darned great, and so is the song.

Met her a couple of days ago at AthFest. They had a nice gig despite a million-degree temperature.
