Two girls; Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor. With their fourth album 'Hold on Love' (which featured in our albums of 2003) they truly mesmerized us, contrasting warmth with haunting soundscapes as they crossed from romantic to tear-jerking in the flutter of an eyelash. They're signed to probably the most respected label in the world right now, Omaha's, Saddle Creek, home to the likes of Shortlist Prize nominee Bright Eyes, plus The Faint, Rilo Kiley, Desaparecidos, Cursive and many more. They are Azure Ray and they're coming our way...
