Maria Taylor Reveals New Album

Some-time Bright Eyes member and one half of Azure Ray (with Orenda Fink), Maria Taylor, has announced details of her new solo album, with Overlook due for release via Saddle Creek on August 16.

Taylor’s last album was 2009’s LadyLuck, a decent enough effort but not quite to the levels of her marvelous 2007 LP, Lynn Teeter Flower, easily her greatest achievement thus far. The last Azure Ray album was 2010’s Drawing Down The Moon, with the last Bright Eyes record that the 35-year-old Taylor played and sang on being 2007’s Cassadaga.

Here is one of the finest songs from Lynn Teeter Flower, A Good Start.
