The Pope Of Trash Is The New Face Of Saint Laurent

Our lord and saviour, John Waters...
Washes of placid pianos, stirring strings and solid synths form the basis of Aquilo’s debut LP.
It’s a work of art sewn together with a mesmerising voice, a vocal that stops you in your tracks and forces you to listen, especially on dramatic opener ‘Silhouettes’.
Delicately tender, ‘Human’ flows like a ripple in the water and atmospheric ‘Sorry’ oozes unfathomable emotion, while ‘Never Again’ is a more upbeat cut, different from the overall sonic vibe yet cohesive in its musicality.
Crafted to perfection, ‘Silhouette’ is outstanding in its audible beauty.
8/10
