Dream voice Azure Ray officially launches China tour

Who

are they? The six songs on their eponymous album were recommended by Taylor Swift on the official Tumblr in 2015. The same name album "Azure Ray" has a single "Safe and Sound" with the same name as the single by Mo Mo.

And in the movie "The Devil Wears Prada"("The Queen Who Wears Prada"), the heroine indulges in her own sadness. What kind of voice was not only highly recommended by Mo Mo, but also made this voice appear repeatedly in the movie, accompanying Anne Hathaway every time she was sad.

Azure Ray is a dreamy pop duo from the United States. Members of the band Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink were born in Athens, Georgia, USA. The sister group Azure Ray, who debuted in 2001, has only released three albums. Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink The two of them successfully captured the hearts of fans with their excellent tacit understanding, fresh and elegant harmonies, and beautiful melodies performed by hollow guitar, piano and other instrumental instruments. Their music style carries some dreams and changes, and you always hear other attractions that attract you when you feel bored. Their music style is like Throwing Muses when they are not noisy, or the sisters Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly when they show slender and fragile emotions, but it is mixed with a bit of Mazzy Star's dreamy sense.

In fact, compared with other soul musicians, the two of Azure Ray still have very different styles. In addition to their performance above level, what is more important is that the two girls in the duo can have such a tacit understanding in the music, making the two sound The perfect combination may be due to the infinite fit of the soul and the collision of soul and soul.

The themes of the Azure Ray album are all very private songs. They have no other intentions except for those written for each other. It is like an exchange of diaries between two girls. On a lazy afternoon, two girls are on the grass, exchanging each other's little secrets, and through music, they show the experiences necessary for the process of growth and the cost of growth-loneliness, loss, heartache, despair, as well as the vitality and vitality ignited after an absolute low tide. A ray of hope for the blue sky after the rain.

A little bit of rural comfort and a little bit of psychedelic feeling, the two are cleverly combined to compose the appeal of Azure Ray. Their mutual familiarity and run-in from life to music made their cooperation very tacit. One song "How You Remember" flows out of the psychedelic conception of Slowdive; the lively folk song "Rest Your Eyes" quietly hides your groundless melancholy; another song "November" gives you a little warm yellow temperature in the autumn wind, making you feel that November is also full of vitality. Coupled with the niche Nordic-style record cover, they quickly stood out among many singers and had a group of their own loyal fans and listeners.

Azure Ray was disbanded in 2004. After a long wait of seven years, Azure Ray, which was reorganized in 2010, finally released a new album,"Drawing Down The Moon", which followed "Hold On Love" in 2003. The opening song of "Drawing Down The Moon","Wake Up, Sleepyhead" has a fairytale lullaby melody, accompanied by sweet singing, signaling a new departure for Azure Ray. The most touching thing is "Signs in the Leaves", which tells the story of giving up what you love and spending your whole life grieving. The lyrics are delicate and sad, sad and touching.

Subsequently, the single "Silverlake" was released in January 2011 and the single "As Above So Below" was released in September 2012. Step by step, they announced their return.

There is a kind of music that is unconscious when used as background music. It feels very soft, slow, nice, and comfortable. It makes you want to put down the work at hand and listen quietly. When you look at the lyrics and listen carefully to what they are singing, but unconsciously Let the melody be played over and over again. Such a psychedelic slow song seems to have a special effect of purifying the soul. AzureRay, composed of two girls, Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink, belongs to this category.

Azure Ray's "The Devil's Feet" is included in "Drawing the Sea Today," which is derived from Azure Ray's first album "Hold On Love" after reorganization. Compared with the past, they seem to pay more attention to the rhythm and have a little electronic flavor on the drums, but what remains unchanged is that they maintain their psychedelic sense of self. The entire album has undergone some changes compared to the previous one. The drums have been strengthened, the rhythm has been accelerated, and the psychedelic feeling has increased. It seems that they are no longer satisfied and slowly bring in, and the prelude has caught the ears. The hoarse voice locks your ears from the first second, bringing a settled Azure Ray.

You must not miss this summer, a breeze in the hot summer, and the Azure Ray is Coming whisper in your ears
