Azure Ray earned a following for their brand of dreamy but drarkly-shaded pop a couple of decades ago. But new album
Remedy shows that Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor have not lost their touch or their edge. It is their first new album in 11 years (their wonderful self-titled debut was re-released earlier this year), offering their hushed harmonies riding folky pop arrangements with understated electronic details. Changes in the dynamics of the songs occur gently, like a slowly incoming tide. The overall effect is atmospheric and almost hypnotic. I tend to consider them sophisticated lullabies for adults, and this album has become a regular evening soundtrack for me.
Remedy is out now via Maria Taylor's Flower Moon Records.
