THEY'RE HERE THEY'RE HERE! We know you have been waiting for our annual end of
the year Best Of lists, and they are ready! Click
here to read them.
One thing i discovered as i processed the reviews
of my various Minions, the self-titled debut album
from Azure Ray was ranked as a best album by every Minion who ranked such
things. Apparently, their form of slow female pop appeals to all people, from
garage rock fans like Tracers, to
indie rockers like Silvergeek,
to pop/rock fans like Malimus, and
even elctro-distortion fans like PostLibyan.
It is a strange, and unsuspected, occurance.
So congrats to Azure Ray.
