Aquilo and Lucy Blue

Aquilo are an English alternative electronic pop duo from Silverdale, Lancashire, consisting of vocalists and multi-instrumentalists Tom Higham and Ben Fletcher.

They gained early recognition with self-released tracks on SoundCloud like "You There" and "Calling Me," leading to a performance at the 2014 Glastonbury Festival and a signing with Island Records. Their discography includes several EPs and notable studio albums such as Silhouettes (2017), ii (2018), A Safe Place to Be (2021), and the twin albums A Quiet Invitation to a Hard Conversation and You Should Get Some Sleep (2024).
