专辑简介有一种音乐，作为背景音乐时毫无知觉，只觉得很轻缓、很好听，但让你很想放下手边工作，等你看看歌词，仔细听她们到底在唱什麼时，却不自觉让旋律一遍一遍至熟记为止，这些缓慢悲伤的曲子，有著心情净化的仪式效果。MariaTaylor和OrendaFink两个女生组成的AzureRay，即是属于这一类。

September 14th, 2010. Take that date in for a second. Familiar right? As we have already reported, Kanye West, Grinderman, Black Mountain, Kid Cudi, The Walkmen, Les Savy Fav, Of Montreal, Brandon Flowers, Black Angels and Blonde Redhead are all dropping studio albums that day. Now it’s been announced that Azure Ray will be releasing their new album on this very date as well.

Drawing Down the Moon will be the Omaha, Nebraska based duo’s second album with Saddle Creek Records, following 2004’s Hold on Love. Eric Bachmann produced the album at Echo Mountain Studios in in Asheville, NC with mixing by Michael Patterson in Los Angeles, CA.

Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink split in 2004 to work with the likes of Moby and Bright Eyes, before revealing in 2009 that the two would reform. The return promises more of the bittersweet melancholy that the band are known for, with the opening track “Wake Up, Sleepyhead” being described as a “lullaby to stir the senses.”

Check out the tracklist below and try to stay sane on the wait for September 14th.
