Orenda & Maria
Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor are Azure Ray. Their music is delicate, deeply emotional, and hauntingly personal. November and Sea of Doubts, in particular, are sung in almost a whisper, delivered directly to the ear of the listener. It is this soft quality of Azure Ray that makes their sound so touching and pure.

Orenda Fink's solo project differs greatly from both Azure Ray and Maria Taylor. Driving guitars with striking minor chords and melodies are present in her independent sound, especially present in Bloodline. Still, her haunting vocals remain unchanged, although the supporting voices prove exceedingly eery.

Maria Taylor's music is so happy and clean, it's a wonder the collaboration that is Azure Ray ever took place. Slightly folksy with pleasant banjos and violins, Maria Taylor just paints a glossy glow over all the world. Both Song Beneath the Song (featured on the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack) and Speak Easy perfectly demonstrate her feel-good sound.
