Noemi Aurora of Helalyn Flowers reveals solo LP ‘Kintsugi’ in 4 exclusive formats – Pre-order now
Helalyn Flowers frontwoman Noemi Aurora releases solo double album 'Kintsugi' on vinyl formats
Noemi Aurora, frontwoman of the Italian electro / industrial / electro metal duo Helalyn Flowers, has announced her solo album “Kintsugi”. The album is a double CD which will also be released on two vinyl formats early February. Pre-orders are available now from the Alfa Matrix / Spleen+ webstore and as download via Bandcamp (where you can also order the other formats directly via the band).
Unlike what you get with most solo endeavors Aurora did write, record, produce, perform, and master every track on “Kintsugi”. The album combines electro-industrial elements, dark wave influences, post-punk, and ethereal tones. Mainly sung in English the album also includes two Italian sung tracks: “Dal Giardino Di Algos” and “Too Late To Die”.
Thematically “Kintsugi” addresses themes of pain, healing, and resilience. It draws on the Japanese art of ‘kintsugi’, the practice of repairing broken pottery with gold, to symbolize strength in imperfections.
The album is available in 3 physical formats including 2 limited vinyl editions (150 copies each): a sunburst solid white vinyl and a black and galaxy transparent red vinyl.
The deluxe digipak double-CD “disaster” edition includes the bonus disc, “Magnetica”, with 11 remixes by artists such as Implant, Aiboforcen, and Metroland, and a cover of The Cure’s “Friday I’m In Love”.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
