Aquilo are a musical duo from Silverdale, Lancashire, England: Tom Higham and Ben Fletcher.
"We like raw power as much as the next noisehead - we particularly like Raw Power - but if you're going to offer the opposite it should always be as limpidly lovely as Aquilo's, as dreamily atmospheric and addicted to melancholy. ... As career moves go - these days they use laptops and Logic to create dolorous downtempo electronica and ethereal R&B - this one is up there with Status Quo's switch from psychedelia to boneheaded boogie or the Stranglers shift from organ-fuelled punk to waltz-time pop baroque. They have been compared to Mount Kimbie and London Grammar, the latter particularly pleasing to Aquilo because they were "blown away" as soon as they heard them." --Guardian UK
