Aquila Rose is concerned with crafting tunes collaboratively and developing improvisations into songs. Emphasis is often placed on rhythm, and the way in which it informs every aspect of song, from backbeat and bass line to melody and vocal line. Dynamics, subtle time shifts and jazz-like manipulation are also keystones of the band's sound. Taking cues from afro-beat, dub, rock, soul and jazz mixed with a healthy dose of punk rock upbringing and aesthetics, Aquila Rose can be raucous or delicate, often in the course of one song. The result is a pulsing, often surprising and always affecting exploration of sound and mood.
I saw you a couple years ago at the Khyber and I was instantly smitten. Glad to see you've got a record out. (I've been listening to your first EP for a long time now.) Let me know if you ever want to play the Jersey shore; we could do a double bill together.
