Aquilo have unveiled their new single Just Asking, the follow up to last month’s Sober.
Just Asking features emotive strings, sweeping harmonies and an expressive topline. The song was mixed by Andrew Sarlo (Bon Iver, Big Thief) and can be heard beloAquiw:
āWeāre super excited to let Just Asking go. Weāve actually been sitting on it for a year or so now. It was written in London when we were unsure as to where the new music would go and what we wanted to do. The lyrics kind of speak for themselves on this one. Weād been working on being a little more literal with our writing and we kind of feel we got that with Just Asking!ā explain Aquilo.
Both Just Asking and Sober feature on the duo’s EP Sober, which will be released on 3rd June via AWAL.
