Folk Bands and Artists
Akimbo
Akimbo is a band of quiet aspirations. Founded from within the buzz of the hectic North London landscape, Pedro Velasco and Nell Greco play with the role of silence and dynamics in making music. Not to say that their music is loud and soft. Rather it’s gentle, thoughtful, rough-around-the-edges, layered and made to sound beautiful, when it can be.
The duo’s mutual love of obscure pop, folk music, jazz and ambient, improvised music feeds their distinguished, original sound. It’s the layered textures from vocal and guitar effects, the blurring of roles between instrumentalist/vocalist, and the evocatively rich harmonies and simple melodies..
