Azure Ray with Tim Fite and James Husband
It’s been six years since celebrated female duo Azure Ray released their critically acclaimed album Hold On Love. The hot new full length from Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor is a sublime destined-to-be-classic titled Drawing Down the Moon, released on Saddle Creek (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.
