Venice is Sinking release Azar tonight at Kavarna
Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Tonight Athens’ orchestral rock ensemble Venice is Sinking celebrates the release of their brand new full-length AZAR on One Percent Press at Kavarna in Decatur.
Admission to the show is $5 and you get a copy of AZAR at the door.
The first song revealed “Ryan’s Song,” draws from an expanding palette of pretty and pastoral tones that thrive on a feeling of gray day melancholy. It’s a marked and somewhat wistful departure from the baroque aspects of their first album, Sorry About the Flowers.
The album comes together as a cohesive whole offering that is less of a glacial movement than their debut, but no less engaging. Maybe the name and corresponding cover art say it all, but the album captures an excellent sense of urban decay and nostalgia for things that are lost … and yes, all of the elements for a full-on concept album are there if you’re looking for them.
Kavarna. 707 E. Lake Dr. in Decatur. 404-371-1113.
