Azure Ray are touring this fall to support a new album that comes out on Sept. 14! Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink have had their solo music going on for several years now, but the two have been working together on a new album with their band and are going to perform in New York this fall. Their sound has been classified as "dream-pop" in the vein of Twin Sister today. On November 13th the pair perform at Mercury Lounge on November 13th. Tickets are on-sale Friday at noon. They also play The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn on November 14th. Tickets go on-sale Saturday, July 17th at 10am. Details on the new album below.
It’s been six years since celebrated female duo Azure Ray released their critically acclaimed album Hold On Love. The highly anticipated new full length from Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor is a sublime future classic titled Drawing Down the Moon, set for release on Saddle Creek on September 14, 2010. The record was produced by Eric Bachmann at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, North Carolina, mixed by Michael Patterson in Los Angeles, CA, and features guest appearances by Andy LeMaster and Liz Durrett. With three prior full-lengths and an EP, the duo drew fans from around the globe with their transcendent songwriting and stunning vocals, and Drawing Down the Moon is an even more impressive and beguiling delight. Their undeniable talents lie in balladry so breathtakingly visceral that it soars straight through the ears into the veins until it pumps firmly into the heart. Azure Ray are famed for their bittersweet melancholy and Drawing Down the Moon is a perfect ode to their harmonious musical gifts.
