Azure Ray bio

Azure Ray is an American dream pop duo, consisting of musicians Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink. They met at the age of 15 at the Alabama School of Fine Arts. They fronted a band called Little Red Rocket, often compared to Veruca Salt, in their hometown of Birmingham, Alabama in the mid and late 1990s and released two albums with the band on Tim/Kerr records. Azure Ray started in Athens, Georgia, but has since relocated to Omaha, Nebraska and joined the music scene there. Their sound is sparse and understated, with intimate lyrics, elements of alt-country and folk Americana, and occasional forays into minimalist electronica territory. They are also in another Saddle Creek band called Now It's Overhead, with Andy LeMaster also of Georgia. The two have also collaborated with Moby and co-wrote the song, "Great Escape" on the album 18. They have also appeared quite often on numerous Bright Eyes records. Fink also works with Japancakes. Orenda Fink married Todd Baechle, lead singer of The Faint, in March 2005.
