Generally favorable reviews - based on 5 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: The mellow indie-pop duo (Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink, both former members of Bright Eyes) returned to the studio with producer Eric Bachmann (Archers of Loaf) to record this sophomore LP. Fink and Taylor also lend their vocals to a track on Moby's latest, '18.'
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 3 out of 5
  2. Negative: 0 out of 5
  1. Burn and Shiver shows Azure Ray maturing and improving the quality of their craft while settling into their familiar, pleasant formula.
  2. Another 12 tracks of curiously beautiful but quite intense melancholy.
  3. 60
    Their second album only partially makes good on their promise, delivering a lovely package that lacks the emotional punch of last year's terrific self-titled debut. [#55, p.70]
