In 1996, Archive brought you the blissed-out classic, Londinium. In 1999, they delivered Take My Head, a collection of symphonic torch songs for the New Millennium. In 2002 the band were again treading pastures new. The result was You All Look The Same To Me, a self-produced hard-hitting, heart-raw opus. In 2003 they recorded a soundtrack and score for Luc Bessons Michel Vaillant film, and the anthemic sound of the 4th album Noise quickly followed.
Long-term Archivists Darius & Danny tweak and refine their soundscapes with taste and flair, scuffing-up a drum-loop here, adding dream-dust there. Baroque-sounding keyboards blend timbres and textures as judiciously as Talk Talks Spirit Of Eden, Portisheads Dummy, or My Bloody Valentines Loveless.
Signed to Warner Music France, throughout Europe, Archive are going from strength to strength and are enjoying huge exposure through touring. Their live shows are a spectacle to behold; the energy the band exude is awe inspiring and there is no doubt that this band should be seen live.
Archive bring a sound so unique; their raw and intense moments so emotional and beautiful, the beautiful ones so desperate and painful. Archive beat down the sound barriers that so many bands and artistes are hindered by. The wall of sound that they are creating is becoming so big it’s difficult to see where it will end.

A friend recently told me about you guys. I was blown away. Such an eclectic array of music. I love hearing versatile bands that aren't afraid to try something different. All the best for the new album. Chris
Hi Darius!! Yeah it's great that it's finished. It took a couple of years :) Nice to hear from you and good luck with the mixing. Can't wait to hear your new album. /andy -theunisex
