Today's Quick Mention:  Pitchfork has reported that Casiotone For The Painfully Alone has decided to call it quits.  Bummer!  The guy (Owen Ashworth) has put out some great stuff, so he'll certainly be missed.  Luckily his final tour has a stop in Austin.  Emo's on September 27.  Be there.

I knew Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor were planning to set aside their solo projects and get back together to tour as Azure Ray, but it wasn't until today that I found out the duo had also readied a new album.  Awesome.  Drawing Down The Moon is what the LP is titled, and it will be released by Saddle Creek on September 14.  Enjoy.

:Azure Ray - Don't Leave My Mind:  Warmth.  It's what Orenda and Maria had going for them all those years ago, and it's what makes this song shine.  Although, this having such an old school Azure Ray sound makes me wonder if all of the new full length is the usual stuff we hear from them when they're together, or if it has some of the large variety of sounds that their respective solo projects churned out.  Guess we'll see.
