Azure Ray在音乐的表现上最引人注目的是MariaTaylor和OrendaFink默契绝佳、清新淡雅的和声，空心吉他、钢琴的器乐演奏以及优美的旋律都是聆听的重点，她们的曲风像是不吵闹时候的ThrowingMuses，表现出纤细脆弱情感时的KristinHersh和TanyaDonelly姊妹俩，有些曲子又有著MazzyStar的梦幻感。
MariaTaylor和OrendaFink出生于美国乔治亚州Athens，与R.E.M.是同乡(年纪差不多是他们的侄女辈吧)。两人十五岁时结识于亚拉巴马州立艺术学校，Maria主修芭蕾，Orenda主修戏剧，都对音乐保持强烈兴趣。毕业後搬到内布达加斯州Omaha参加了powerpop乐队LittleRedRocket，之後组成低调民谣风格的AzureRay。所加入的独立厂牌SaddleCreek，就像个大家庭，乐手都在两个以上的乐队演出，彼此熟识，相互支援，例如AzureRay常与BrightEyes巡回演出，让Omaha成为近年来美国中西部独立摇滚的重要基地。
Azure Ray于2004年解散，又与2010年重组，发行新专辑《Drawing Down The Moon》。
2011年1月发行单曲《Silverlake》。
2012年9月发行单曲《As Above So Below》。
2015年，Taylor swift 在她的官方Tumblr推荐了Azure Ray同名专辑的6首歌。
Azure Ray is an American dream pop duo, consisting of musicians Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink. The pair met at the age of 15 at the Alabama School of Fine Arts. They fronted a band called Little Red Rocket, often compared to Veruca Salt, in their hometown of Birmingham, Alabama in the mid and late 1990s and released two albums with the band on Tim/Kerr records.
Azure Ray started in Athens, Georgia, but relocated to Omaha, Nebraska and joined the music scene there. Taylor and Fink are also in another Saddle Creek band called Now It's Overhead, with Andy LeMaster. The two have collaborated with Moby and co-wrote the song, "Great Escape" on the album 18. They have also appeared on numerous Bright Eyes records. Fink also works with Japancakes.
Azure Ray went on hiatus in 2004, leaving Fink and Taylor to work on solo and other collaborative projects, including working in Now It's Overhead and Maria Taylor's solo recordings.
Fink and Taylor reformed the band for a one-off show in Los Angeles on November 30, 2008. The duo was accompanied by Andy LeMaster of Now It's Overhead and Nick White of Tilly and the Wall.
In 2009, Taylor announced on KCRW's ‘Morning Becomes Eclectic ‘that the band would reform on a semi-permanent basis in July 2009 for "5 or 6" shows before working on a new Azure Ray album. Their fourth album, ‘Drawing Down the Moon’, was released in September 2010.
Azure Ray's six song EP, ‘As Above So Below’, was released on September 5, 2012, on Saddle Creek Records.
On February 11, 2015, Taylor Swift included Azure Ray's song "Sleep" from their self-titled LP on a 6 song "breakup playlist" made for a fan via her official Tumblr.
