Editor's note

Illion's atmospheric sound and quiet resilience

A London band that built a following with reflective songs before weathering a member's departure.

If you're new to Illion, start with 'Wander Lust' and 'Water Lily.' They frame what the band does well, that atmospheric, reflective quality that feels both specific and open.

Their music carries a reflective, sometimes haunting quality that feels lived-in rather than polished. Songs like 'Wander Lust' and 'Dance' have that atmospheric sound that drew comparisons to Sigur Rós and Coldplay early on. 'Water Lily' in 2021 showed their melodic and lyrical depth could reach beyond their initial following.

Illion formed in London in the late 2010s with Layla Araya on vocals, Ethan Blackwood on guitar, Gabriel Navarro on bass, and Aiden Reed on drums. Their debut EP 'Ephemeral Dreams' built a following, and they continued after Blackwood left in 2022 following credible misconduct allegations.
