AZOORA
"Azoora" are a collaboration of tastes between the band members, a mix of attitudes and a reflection of what can be acheived if your willing to experiment outside of the norm and except other creative opinions other than your own.
In short; theres a lot of compromise intertwined in the music the band makes. In an attempt to smooth out the creative strain they have taken the initiative of making two alternative takes of each of their tracks; finding a distance between the common place "remix" they offer two varied productions of the tracks, in part to show what can be achieved, and in part to quench the thirst and release the creative tensions that can arise if only one take or formula is explored. They strive for a kind of balance between experimentation and simplicity. They try to create our own sound, instantly recognizable as an "Azoora" track. Its a journey which experiments with different genres of music, from pop to trip hop, new rave to acoustic, jumping as is gracefully possible between these on the EPs.
They have been featured on an European Renault netīadvertising campaign. Now they work constantly on releasing their new Ep's in conjunction with 23seconds netlabel, taking twists and turns, perfecting production and mastering techniques and breaking a few rules along the way. The original, and challenging sleeve work of the Swedish artist and photographer Jenny persson is featured on the downloads.
