Ayal Senior releasing "Ora," an entrancing companion to "Az Yashir"

Ayal Senior's "Ora" – out Wednesday via Medusa Editions – came out of a collaboration with Kurt Newman & Andrew Furlong. 

Here's the scoop...
The songs that became Ora were written as a companion & follow up to the 'Az Yashir' songbook. 

These songs were a joy to write & record among long-time & trusted friends & collaborators. They seemed to appear at ease as themselves, falling from a dream, transmitted from some place with dancing blue forms.  The core live unit of Kurt Newman (gtr/pedal-steel) and Andrew Furlong (bass) are warmly augmented here by Blake Howard on drums & Jay Anderson on additional percussion. 

We hope you dig it as much as we enjoyed making it. Thank you for listening!
