Azure Ray Palindrome Stream
Azure Ray Palindrome Stream – Azure Ray has passed through several life cycles as a band.
In the early 2000s, indie-folk duo Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink were twentysomething rookies who relocated from Athens, Georgia — deep reserves of grief and nostalgia in tow — to join the Saddle Creek scene in Omaha, Nebraska,
where they would help to define an era alongside labelmates Conor Oberst (and his many appendages), Rilo Kiley, Polecat, Slow Down Virginia, the Faint, Cursive and others. Azure Ray prolifically released five albums and EPs released between 2001 and 2004, when they disbanded to pursue solo careers.
They reunited for a slew of records between 2008 and 2012: their echoey southern gothic indie-folk never undergoing a full transformation, but growing more pop and electronic-inflected over time.
