Venice is Sinking

previous press

Some people have said some very nice things about us. A few have said not-so-nice things. Haters.

Here are some mentions, reviews (mostly nice!), and other flotsam about our second album, AZAR:

Here are the nice things they said about Sorry About The Flowers:

Download our press highlights!

"An orchestral pop gem if there ever was one." PopMatters

"...with its co-ed harmonies and wandering streams of dense melodies, it is the perfect soundtrack for unexpected overcast days...7.0" Pitchfork

"An impressive debut to say the least, and is, without question, orchestral pop at it's finest." Venus

"'Pulaski Heights,' from their upcoming Sorry About the Flowers, kills with kindness, a sweet and temperate summer breeze of a song." Salon.com

"...an engaging and beautiful piece of slowcore." Under The Radar

"Each track -- especially "Pulaski Heights" and "Buried Magnets" -- brings the fuzz, which the band smartly beset with Lawson and Troupe's melodic boy-girl harmonies and the beautifully agonizing sweeps from the viola." SPIN.com
