Azure Ray is a female duo from Athens, GA whose members also spend time in Japancakes and Little Red Rocket.
The focus here seems to be on the enunciation of the lyrics, which is carefully precise, particularly on tracks like "Sleep" and "4th Of July," the bona-fide college radio hit, mainly because it's one of the few songs on the album with a beat.
Azure Ray will either lull you to a gentle, fulfilling sleep or make you fall in love with them and leave you wishing that there were more than 11 tracks on their CD.

 Azure Ray - November EP (Saddle Creek)
Azure Ray creates that feeling from a chopping rhythm on the guitar that tugs at your ears, pulling you along with the song.
The upper register vocals are balanced well by fluctuating synthesizer tones that alone would sound unnerving or spooky but blend in perfectly against Fink and Taylor's assuring words and voices.
Fink and Taylor's vocals are airy and pretty, wondering "how weightless they must be without feeling," however the beauty of their voices and words is perhaps overshadowed by the great instrumental sections of the song.

 Azure Ray: Burn and Shiver: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In reviewing Azure Ray's latest collection of unexcitable meditations on lost love, Burn and Shiver, my chosen rating of 6.8 will signify to many that there has been a drop in quality since group's 2001 eponymous debut for Warm Records, an album which Pitchfork deemed a 7.0.
While Azure Ray's debut boasted one or two truly moving songs-- most notably, the pensive ballad "Displaced"-- it suffered from a horrible case of homogeny, as many tracks seemed mere variations on the group's favored structural idiom: the mid-tempo acoustic waltz.
Hold on Love, Azure Ray's third proper full-length, sees them hightailing out of their former alb...

 EvilSponge: Album: Azure Ray by Azure Ray
I've already listened to the debut album by Azure Ray numerous times, and I'd already begun to write the review in my mind.
And I'd even boned up on my band history, ready to mention that Azure Ray is Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor, better known for fronting Little Red Rocket, an uptempo Indie bubblegum pop concoction.
But there was nothing on Azure Ray which was loud, or jarring, or out of place.

 Azure Ray: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
Both of Azure Ray's significant others already resided in the quaint Nebraska town, so the two opted to take a chance there as well.
Such a change worked in their favor on Hold on Love, for the two have captured a cohesiveness that was lacking on previous Azure Ray albums.
Azure Ray is an Athens, GA, duo composed of Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor; their self-titled debut album is a quiet, gentle set of lovely songs that doesn't fit neatly into any current pigeonhole.

 Azure Ray - s/t (Warm)
Atop this are incredibly soft female vocals, sounding so light and airy that it contrasts with the music, giving the music's morose feeling a pop aura.
Azure Ray is the duo of Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor who led the Geffen-signed Belly-sound-alike Little Red Rocket and have made guest appearances with Bright Eyes and Japancakes.
Their self-titled debut was produced and arranged by Eric Bachmann of Archers of Loaf and Crooked Fingers who gives the spare music a deceptively layered sound.

And often what triggers these rhapsodic moments is something as simple and unexpected as the smell of a passerby's perfume, the color of the sky, or maybe a song.
There's sadness in their somber acceptance that the moments they sing about are unattainable -- and that they were never was as good as we remember it now.
But their work as Azure Ray is their most captivating accomplishment.

 MOBY DIRTY VEGAS AZURE RAY 72302
The ex-Athenians brought their whispery, acoustic based songs to a venue full of electronica fans and lived to tell the tale.
When Orenda announced that the band was originally from Athens, there was an audible gasp of surprise from the crowd followed by a roar of approval.
Smartly closing their short set with "The Great Escape," (which appears on Moby's latest album) Azure Ray caught the ears of a few more.

On Hold on Love, the ladies’ third full-length album, Azure Ray lets out an eloquent, reverberating, satisfying breath.
As a departure from 2001’s self-titled debut and 2002’s Burn and Shiver (both released on WARM Records), as well as 2002’s November EP on Saddle Creek, Hold on Love was built on a bold approach — taking the ethereal aspects of Azure Ray’s past work and mixing them with a more upbeat and enlivened technique.
Longtime producer Eric Bachmann (of Archers of Loaf and Crooked Fingers) was a key collaborator on the way to Azure Ray’s newfound breadth.

 SOUNDTHESIRENS.COM - Review :: Azure Ray - Hold On Love
It is not the fact that Azure Ray puts me into this sadness, but it is the band’s ability to lift a pessimist’s soul.
Time and again it has always felt as though Azure Ray can take my hand and guide me through the tough moments in my life, but this album has been holding my hand through everything for the past couple of weeks.
Words like “just hold on love / even when I scream and fight / even when I swear I don’t love you / just hold on tight,” a person is automatically reversed from the gloomy and heavy rain on a window pane to a subtle amount of sunshine beaming through the cracks in the clouds.

She moved away after a few months and I was once again left alone with only my copy of "The Queen is Dead" to remind me that there was a fragile and tragic wit outside the halls of my lame-ass junior high.
Such is the feeling I get when I listen to Azure Ray's eponymously-titled debut album from Warm Records.
Azure Ray hypnotizes the listener with these lost loves and personal thoughts nestled in there somewhere among old notebooks, old tapes, and bitter-sweet memories.

Taking nothing from their own uniquely sonorous voices, I find Azure Ray at an evocative intersection of Suzanne Vega, Dar Williams, and Margo Timmins of The Cowboy Junkies.
Indie talents Azure Ray bring a beautiful set of songs in "Hold On Love", a well-accomplished effort with heartfelt voices and lyrics that never come close to sappy and overly sentimental territory.
These are subtle, lo-fi and deep compositions, slices of life to hear and absorb in a melancholic afternoon while lying on the couch.
