Due in late March, the new album from Venice is Sinking, AZAR, finds the band widening its palette and deepening its focus, tackling the idea of location’s ability to influence our lives.

Growing musically since the band’s debut, the group, challenged by engineer Scott Solter (Mountain Goats, John Vanderslice, Pattern is Movement), shed the “space rock” designation, from the wide-eyed “Iron Range” to the David Lynch prom theme of “Wetlands Dance Hall”, from the heart wrenching “Young Master Sunshine” to the sardonic pop of “Okay”.

AZAR is a dynamic work of beauty and ambition: the songs are meticulous, vertical creations, tackling tiny, specific moments and exploding them outwards. [ioda]
