Album Review: Ten to Sen wa Shinko Katachi

Background:
First mini-album/EP of Novaurelia; the solo project of piano playing singer-songwriter Mizuhashi Ayaka. Released August 26th (2015).

Ringo's Thoughts:
Mizuhashi has a pretty unique voice that gives me vivd flashbacks of the vocalist of the band nano.ripe. Her voice is very nasally and high, but it's not really grating or annoying (at least not to me). Although her profile says that Novaurelia is a solo project and she's a piano player; all the tracks except the first (which is acoustic style) are accompanied by traditional band instruments. Actually now that I think about it, this EP's musical style overall reminds me strongly of nano.ripe. I'm not the biggest fan of that band (mostly because of the vocalist) but I suppose Novaurelia has a bit more of a whispery undertone to her unlike nano.ripe's singer. I'm not particularly hooked but I'll consider keeping a look out for any new releases.
