Azure Ray would
never call themselves
purely a gothic
band, but every
gothic heart will
appreciate their
beautiful, ghostly
whispering voices,
their pleasingly
sorrowful melodies
and their often
wicked lyrics.
Azure Ray is the
songwriting team
of Orenda Fink and
Maria Taylor, who
have been creating
music together since
meeting in art school
at the age of 15.
Orenda and Maria's
music is built on
elegant backgrounds
of guitars and piano,
building ever more
layered arrangements
with organ, mellotron,
violins, tape loops
and percussion.
Their moods often
evoke the slow,
gentle flow of a
crystalline river,
or the misty cascade
of a slow motion
waterfall.
Their most recent
CD, Hold On Love
is their most addictive
and most ambitious.
From that album,
the lyrics to the
haunting song The
Devil's Feet convey
Azure Ray's gothic
sense of mystery
The girls can also
be heard on a collaboration
with Moby on the
song 'Great Escape.'
A beautiful solo
album by Orenda,
called Invisible
Ones was released
in 2005.
