Venice Is Sinking has mastered the haunting, dreamy sound for which many shoegazing bands strive. The evocative violin blends seamlessly with the affecting vocals and the buzzing guitars. If you like bands like Snow Patrol and Catherine Wheel, you will likely enjoy this album too. Listen to the free samples, and you'll see how some songs on "Sorry about the Flowers" are instantly memorable. The rest of the album has really grown on me as well. It remains in my regular rotation.
