    Although sometimes the journey gets bumpy, and Aquilo lose their way to sleepy filler, they always manage to find their way back to the dreamy, lush pop and rich electronic tapestries that makes part of this record such a triumph.

    Aquilo captivate most when they vary the tempo and instrumentation within their songs, and they do it often enough to make Silhouettes a strong debut overall.

    Fans will find few surprises on this full-length debut, which opens with Silhouette's emo-soul ballad and throughout maintains a mood pitched somewhere between tortured and despairing. [Apr 2017, p.111]

    Vocalist Tom Higham deploys his requisite falsetto sparingly, but the surfeit of emotion and tranquillity flattens their musical landscape.
