listen: aquilo - sober
Having followed Aquilo’s journey for the past few years, they lead with consistency and a pure thread throughout their music. Every track they release has the ability to cut through on any playlist and their production is both melodically detailed and effortlessly refined.
Having waited for new music since 2018, their new release ‘Sober’ leads with the same perfectionism and unique articulation. This song is the title track to their new EP of the same name, which is to follow on 3rd June.
‘Sober’ finds Aquilo embracing a warm, organic sound once more. With soothing vocal harmonies, elegant piano and raw beats providing the foundation to their sonic identity.
“We’re both just so excited to start releasing music again. We really wanted to do something a little different but stay true to ourselves. There certainly was no intention of taking 2 years but you just can’t force these things or the process. It’s been a big learning curve for the two of us and we feel it’s the best music we’ve had the pleasure of making. Overjoyed to be letting the songs go and hopefully they touch people in the same way they’ve touched us!” - Aquilo
If you’re discovering Aquilo for the first time, start with this track, then when you have the time sit back, listen in and work through their back catalogue. Beautiful.
