As Above So Below (Azure Ray EP)

As Above, So Below is the seventh studio release by American duo Azure Ray, consisting of Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink. It was originally released on September 4, 2012, on Saddle Creek Records and features co-production by Andy LeMaster and Todd Fink (of The Faint). Following a 2-year hiatus after the release of Drawing Down the Moon, Fink and a pregnant Taylor entered the studio to record six news songs, with a more "hypnotic" "electronica" influence in collaboration with Andy LeMaster and Todd Fink.[3] On July 17, 2012, Stereogum premiered the "starry, shivering cut" “Scattered Like Leaves.”[4] NPR premiered "Red Balloon" on August 9, 2012, calling the "long, slow summer swoon," "devastating melancholy."[5] Rolling Stone premiered the full EP stream on August 28, 2012.[6]
