Azure Ray announce first album in over a decade with title-track "Remedy"
Azure Ray, the project of Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor, have announced their first album in 11 years Remedy, alongside releasing the title-track as the lead single.
"Remedy" is the duo's first new outing since their 2018 EP Waves, and is accompanied by news of their fifth album Remedy, which will be their first album since 2010's Drawing Down the Moon.
As Pitchfork reports, Fink and Taylor said of the titlle-track in a statement, "We chose "Remedy" as the title track for our new record because we felt like it spoke to our collective experience of the last year (when this record was written and recorded). Many of us experienced grief, anger, isolation, and fear, and in those times when you can’t find solace in your usual places, you have to look for it on the inside. In the end, you are your own source of power, your own source of hope. "You’re a remedy, or there’s none"."
The duo's new album is produced by Lord Huron's Brandon Walters, and was recorded individually at three separate locations in southern California during the COVID-19 pandemic.
