So from the things we’ve learned during this season of Music Videos, one of the biggest is that while you don’t need to have a huge budget, you simply can’t skimp on the concept. Today’s “In the Spirit of Music Video” is a nice example of a good concept, done well. Maybe it’s the fact that I just moved myself, but it seems that the care with with band members were wrapped and moved can be appreciated by all. Bonus points for a great song. We’re really digging Ryan’s Song by Venice is Sinking over here.

About Ryan’s Song: (via stereogum)

Venice Is Sinking’s second album AZAR is out at the end of March. It’s been three years since their debut Sorry About The Flowers, so in this Jason Miller and Ethan Payne-directed video, the Athens, Georgia quintet are taken out of storage and propped in place to perform “Ryan’s Song,” the collection’s dreamy lead track. It feels a bit like Ida affixed to a bubbling Sea & Cake undertow. Vocalists Daniel Lawson and Karolyn Troupe navigate the band through the cardboard, packing tape, and bubble wrap.
