"Artist Of The Day: Aria Novos"

Formed from the ashes of talented Safety Harbor youngsters Oh Clemency, Aria Novos serve up a swirling, undeniably catchy and danceable style of modern alternative, a la Tokyo Police Club or Ra Ra Riot.

Singer-keyboardist Audrey Sinead, singer-guitarist Gerard Sison, guitarist Eric Maroney, drummer Alex Schumacher and bassist Johnny released an EP, Diamond Light, described as a "concept albumette." It's smooth

On Friday, Aria Novos will play an acoustic set at 6 p.m. at Cafe Bohemia in St. Pete. To see the whole band live, you'll have to wait until Oct. 12, when they have a show at Orpheum in Ybor City. - Tampa Bay Times

Bio

Aria Novos is a freshly emerging band composed of long time friends. Ex- Oh, Clemency member Gerard Sison, founded the idea of creating something real and innovative in the winter of '09, which would later become Aria Novos. After getting together with Audrey Sinead, their voices and ideas immediately melded together and fueled the start of a new project consisting of new terrain they had never before explored. With Alex Schumacher on drums, the project was slowly getting off its feet and after creating a few demos to bring to the studio, the addition of Chris Figueredo on Bass finalized the lineup to record their debut EP "Diamond Light".

Diamond Light consists of dreamy yet tangible songs. Originally based as a concept albumette about love lost and rediscovered through alternate realities, the albumette is tied together through themes of dysphoria, the pains and hopes of relationships, and the struggles of humanity and spirituality. The soothing yet course melodies of Gerard Sison are carried by the angelic voice of Audrey Sinead. With layered ambient synth/piano textures and dreamy guitar leads by Audrey and Gerard, a relieved yet tense feeling is evoked. The rhythm section of the EP is the heart of the music as it gives off an upbeat and groovy backbone.

Since the release of Diamond Light in summer '10, Aria Novos has added Eric Maroney on guitar. They plan to play as many shows as possible in the local Tampa area and spread their art to as many people as possible.
