When it came time to follow up their tiny masterpiece, 2002's, 's and left behind the Southern comfort of Athens, GA, for Omaha. Both of 's significant others already resided in the quaint Nebraska town, so the two opted to take a chance there as well. Such a change worked in their favor on, for the two have captured a cohesiveness that was lacking on previous albums. And 's gothic dreamscape of wonder and melancholy is fleshed out with their breathy warm vocals as the main focus. Lite strings, percussion, and assorted acoustic guitars and woodwinds flow nicely throughout while misted pianos accent 's overall prettiness.

Azure Ray Hold On Love Album

As a departure from 2001's self-titled debut and 2002's Burn & Shiver (both released on WARM Records), as well as 2002's November EP on Saddle Creek, Hold on Love was built on a bold approach taking the ethereal aspects of Azure Ray's past work and mixing them with a more upbeat and enlivened technique. Still so visceral and intimate you can hear lips pulling apart and piano hammers striking, Hold on Love travels the aurally deeper road with layer upon layer of all-encompassing sound. And where love and loss dripped from each word on past albums, Hold on Love finds hope to round out their message.
