In Winter also had regular airplay on Cleveland's local radio station. The Low (King) has a foundation built on nearly 10 years of formal music training as well as getting a start early on with a short lived hip-hop trio from Michigan.

Azure Noir takes classic Electronica templates and builds a dazzling, unique sound on that foundation. Morguen Merlot (Lead Vocals) and King (Production) have a solid background of experience and talent ranging from Rap/Hip-Hop to Industrial Rock.
“...Being lost in a song is why I listen to music, especially this genre of trip-hop/ambient...I, for one, don’t want to wake up from this dream...”
