Song:Ryan's Song
Album:AZAR
Fans of dream pop may want to check out the indie band Venice Is Sinking. Daniel Lawson started Venice Is Sinking as a home recording project in his hometown of Peachtree City, GA. He released an album on cassette in 1997. In 2003 Lawson moved to Athens and decided to turn Venice Is Sinking into a band. The key addition was viola player and singer Karolyn Troupe. And the best thing about Venice Is Sinking is Lawson and Karolyn's harmonies. The two soon became a romantic couple. Other members were Alex Thibadoux on keyboards, Stephen Miller on bass and Lucas Jensen on drums. They signed with One Percent Press and after a 2005 EP, the album Sorry About The Flowers was released in 2006. Lawson and Karolyn split up but kept the band together. Thibadoux was replaced by James Sewell. Ryan's Song is from Venice Is Sinking's 2009 album AZAR. They also released a live album in 2010. Most of the band's modest success was through MySpace and live gigs. And when MySpace closed, they moved to Tumblr. And it was on Tumblr that Venice is Sinking announced their demise in 2014. It looks like Daniel Lawson quit the music business for landscape architecture. AZAR is available as a budget CD. Here's the video for Ryan's Song by Venice Is Sinking.
