This is NOREiKA's follow up second EP to his debut, METACOUSTiFOLK. Opening track from the New York rocker's EP is Ride. Ride is a country folk acoustic track which sets off the album. Slow to mid beat it's a chilled out that eases you in. It shows off Peter's soulful voice. In contrast to this, You're the One is a rockier heavy one. Feels very country rock and alternative to the opening track. Both track are quite different to each other so shows his vocals and how versatile his style is.
Win or Lose seems to have a similar feel to the previous track in terms of style. However, it's slightly more heavy with a catchy and repetitive beat. What I like about Win or Lose (and maybe why it's my favourite off the EP) is the folky bridge section with the guitar riff. Final track is Rocketship. The track is a faster pace. In terms of style, it's a mixture of folk meeting metal and acoustic.
Overall it's a very fun EP and worth a listen. Go and support NOREiKA buy downloading his EP here or alternatively go to the player at the top and click buy. Follow him on both Twitter and Facebook too to keep up to date with any news and future releases.
