I love unsolicited review materials, especially when it's a band I've never heard before, and even more so when said band turns out to be surprisingly good. Aoria is a four-piece outfit from Sweden that plays rock music with the electro-pop influence of The Cure. The songs of this three-song EP are strongly written and the intricate composition of the songs makes repeated listens essential, and yet enjoyable. "Assassination," is very reminiscent of Oceansize and A Perfect Circle, no doubt fans of both would enjoy this EP. Even though the songs that make up If I Slow Down Everything Will Disappear pass the five-minute mark, they do not bore nor do they seem repetitive at all. I highly suggest looking into this band, you will be pleasantly surprised. As for me, I am anxiously awaiting future material from Aoria with open ears.
