Guapo is a four-piece progressive band from the UK that plays a dark, driving, brooding brand of instrumental rock. Think "chamber orchestra picks up rock instruments and goes a bit Goth."This would be an accurate description of their past albums Five Suns and Black Oni (both of which are recommended), anyway. Elixirs is a touch lighter and more varied in style, and there are occasional vocals (both male and female) though they contribute to the overall mood of the piece rather than being lyrics per se. This band is still about atmosphere - meant to be absorbed late at night through good headphones and with the lights out. OK, so I haven't done that yet. I'm still in need of good headphones.
I also find the artwork on Elixirs to be beautiful - you'll have to buy it to see what I mean.
