Song for Sunday

Venice is Sinking – Okay

How great is this? Venice is Sinking are from Athens GA (same city as R.E.M.) and specialise in a beautiful, lush and languid slightly leftfield-rock which is right up my street. The combination of male and female vocals weaving in and out is something else which I find hard to resist. Anyway, they are the best new band I've found this year (thanks mbvmusic!) and if the video above appeals then I suggest you have a look at their website – plenty of free tunes to download – and start by purchasing their Okay EP from late last year.
