The album marks a powerful evolution in the band’s 30-year journey. Initiated by the core quartet, the record embraces a minimal, down-tempo sound with expansive, emotive space.
The addition of Essex rapper, Jimmy Collins, brings a fierce, haunting energy to ‘Heads Are Gonna Roll’, while singer Lisa Mottram delivers spontaneous brilliance across several tracks, including the hypnotic title song and the brooding ‘The Love The Light’. The album’s versatility spans raw, percussive rhythms in ‘When You’re This Down’, electro-pop touches in ‘Wake Up Strange’, and motorik vibes in ‘Look At Us’. At the emotional core is ‘So Far From Losing You’, an eight-minute epic blending rap and vocals that reflects Keeler’s personal life. Driven by a desire to create without boundaries, Archive continue to challenge and inspire fans, proving that their creative spark burns as bright as ever.
Talking about the new album, Keeler said:
The album all started after we composed the song, Patterns. We really loved the space and minimalistic power of the song, it reminded us of our debut album Londinium, and how we approached writing at that time – heavy rhythm with a melancholy that penetrates the soul. I was listening to Elgar’s Nimrod a lot at the time we started writing the new album, and I wanted to use brass as an added dimension, bringing even more emotion to the songs. Our last album, Call to Arms & Angels was a pretty heavy record in retrospect, due to the whole Covid experience. This one feels like we’re breaking out into a more expansive and uplifting dimension.
