Saddle Creek mainstays Azure Ray had been unobtrusively releasing poignant, beautiful indie-folk around the turn of the century, rarely gaining more than the approving nod of a few well-placed critics and those familiar with the label's consistently intriguing output. After a significant hiatus and quite some time in the making, new album Drawing Down the Moon spans the years to bring the band back into the indie consciousness. [...]

These pictures of the Azure Ray show last Saturday are cute . Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor have reunited, as they do from time to time , and seem to be enjoying themselves. Doesn't look like they'll be coming to LA anytime soon, though. Azure Ray: Sleep.mp3

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive From the very first moments of the Saturday night Azure Ray show at Mercury Lounge in New York City, it was readily apparent that the late country-rock legend Gram Parsons would have been alternately impressed and honored. His musical influence on the Alabama dream pop duo -- coined "Cosmic American Music" -- permeates the work of Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor and never was it [...]

Recommended Show: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2010 AZURE RAY & TIM FITE @ KNITTING FACTORY 361 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 $15, 7PM Consider this to be a repeat of everything we told you yesterday. Azure Ray and Tim Fite team up again, but this time they perform at the Knitting Factory. It's a little strange how the quirky Fite seems to always be teamed up touring with women who have these amazing vocals, but it seems to work for him. [...]

Both Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor continued similar solo careers, but the separate endeavors could never compete with the pair together. Tonight they play Mercury Lounge, but get their early, you don't want to miss opening act, Tim Fite ! [...]

Azure Ray is an American dream pop duo from Athens, Georgia. This track appears on their 2002 EP, November . It's such a beautiful and heart-wrenching song. I like it a lot.

I don't know if it's because of Internet information overload, or just because I'm getting older, but I'm finding it harder to get into new bands than I used to. New bands used to be my favorite part of doing my radio show, but now I look at a blog page full of new bands to check out, and I feel that same pang of pre-exhaustion I get when I see three baskets full of laundry to fold. So it's always a relief to see new music come along from artists I've loved in the past, especially if [...]

When you were 16 years old, you were most likely learning how to drive, getting cultured on the ins and outs of high school cliques, and convincing your parents that 12 AM is a reasonable curfew hour. Looking back on these elapsed years, it’s difficult for me to imagine knowing exactly what my passions were at such [...]

Ever wish you could just make a radical career change? You know, walk into the boss's office, tell her/him where s/he can stick the monthly inventory reports and glide out the front door, arms raised in triumph, to begin a new life as a baker. Or a spy? How about a remixer? That wouldn't be too bad, right? Kanye and Beyonce swinging by, begging you to magically transform their half-baked tunes into bangers. But if your alma mater didn't prepare you for a life of beats and breaks, you're kinda stuck. Until now. Berlin-based music hub [...]

[See post on tinyways.com to listen to audio] Don't Leave My Mind Make Your Heart If You Fall (from Hold On Love) Premiered last week, Azure Ray’s new video “Don’t Leave My Mind” embodies everything we love about ethereal dream pop. It’s been nearly seven years since Azure Ray released their critically acclaimed album Hold On Love (2003) and the new record Drawing Down the Moon holds up to the highest expectations. “Don’t Leave My Mind” offers a sweet, warm and dreamlike taste of the [...]
Azure Ray played at The Independent on October 24 and had the whole crowd mesmerized by their performance. It’s hard to put into words just how pretty these girls make everything: their music, their stage presence, etc. More like it: LIVE REVIEW: Caribou @ the Independent 5/24/2010 Live Review: Vivian Girls at Independent Album Review: "Fever Ray" Fever Ray
When we arrived at The Independent I was surprised by the lack of people. Maybe I live in a bizarre universe in which Saddle Creek in the early 20002s was the epitome of music, but I thought Azure Ray coming back would be big. Apparently I was wrong. It could have been the rainy Sunday [...]
![[Photo Review] Azure Ray live @ The Social (Orlando, FL)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2919519_lg.jpg)
Have you ever heard a song and felt like it transported you home? Not just to your place of residence but to that time in your life where everything seems so safe and innocent. Where nothing could harm you. Stress and worry are just words of another language and warmth and happiness seep into everything fiber of your being. Comfort comes from the embers in the fireplace glowing in the living room and the sinking shallows of the sofa are beckoning for your return. That is the feeling Azure Ray radiated through their performance at The Social in [...]
