Have You Heard: Xylo Aria

When did you start making music and why? I wrote my first song when I was 12. To be honest I just wanted to see if I could do it! I loved music and figured it couldn't be that hard…

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Ambient, Ethereal, Melodic, Downtempo.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? It would have to be Overgrown by James Blake. It's just the most beautiful album I've ever heard! His vocals and the slow, progressive nature of the songs just takes me somewhere else every time.

Greatest rock 'n' roll moment of your career to date? I was in a high school all girl band and at times there was a bit of head banging involved. "Greatest" would be a bit of a stretch at describing us though, we were actually fairly terrible! 

Why should people come and see your band? We want to play gigs that will mesmerise you and allow you to momentarily escape the constraints of reality.

When and where for your next gig? 27 May, Wesley Anne.
