Ra Ra Riot’s “Dying is Fine” has been making the rounds for more than a year as the band made the ascendance from blogged about to signed to a record deal. But the somber song actually hasn’t appeared on a proper album yet (that is until tomorrow when their excellent debut album The Rhumb Line is released via Barsuk), even though it has a formal music video.
Here’s a new video of the band performing the ee Cummings-referencing track in an attic in Syracuse, refusing to be cramped by the heat or the limited headspace.
The Rhumb Line is out tomorrow via Barsuk.
