AQUILO Release Tender Single ‘Our Bones Turn To Stone’
Unveiling their forthcoming album, this heavenly single gives you goosebumps as heartfelt piano melodies and strings marry ethereal vocal harmonies.
Hailing from a coastal village in the Lake District, UK, Aquilo are a duo comprising of Ben Fletcher and Tom Higham, who collaboratively write and produce their sound. Their first two albums Silhouettes and ii achieved enormous success, and the visionary duo have even graced the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury Festival. The release of their poignant new single Our Bones Turn To Stone also marks the impending release of their third album.
Composed two years ago, when Ben and Tom returned home to Silverdale from LA, Our Bones Turn To Stone embodies an incredible discovery for the duo because its creation was inspired by them embracing their roots. Flawlessly stunning Bon Iver-esque vocals and delicate sonics showcase the heart-rending lyricism in this audible masterpiece. By penning emotionally transparent lyrics such as “I’ve been quietly dancing around with the words in my head,” Aquilo have delivered a rare vulnerability in Our Bones Turn To Stone which influences you to fall in love with them.
Aquilo share:
When we made this song it felt like a defining moment for us and the album. It was one of the first songs we made where it all clicked into place for the two of us. We started playing this melody on an old, dusty, out of tune piano. Within a few hours of going with the flow it just poured out! We hope it can do the same thing for people listening that it’s done for us.
Echoing a lyric in Our Bones Turn To Stone word for word, their upcoming album is entitled A Safe Place To Be. Due to be released on October 15th, the album is now available to pre-order and pre-save.
