Aquilo return with minimalist heartbreaker “I Could Fight On A Wall”

Silverdale’s Aquilo have long been purveyors of brooding, self-examining odes that take inspiration from the landscape as much as human emotion. This running theme throughout their work, gives the duo a sense of originality and poise that allows them to sit comfortably next to timeless songwriting partnerships like Hall & Oates, Bell & Chilton, and Brownstone.

“I Could Fight On A Wall” is not some wild change of tact or shallow attempt artistic rebirth but instead a continuation of a blueprint that Aquilo created, nurtured and in this case, finally allowed to breathe.

Music is reflections of an environment at a given time but great artistry it seems is capturing the essence of an environment whether it be tangible and present or a distant memory. Aquilo have an assured command of the latter, a skill that one would like to believe is instilled rather than learned.
