Post Description

Long running electronic / trip hop band ARCHIVE. With Us Until You’re Dead. And apparently it’s very good. See Paul Scott-Bates review below for confirmation of this.
ZO  JAMMER DAT DEZE BAND IN NEDERLAND ZO ONBEKEND IS 

I’ll be honest, I’d never heard of Archive before. This surprises me as they’ve been going for 18 years!

I’ll be even more honest when I say that With Us Until You’re Dead is an absolute cracker of an album. I’m hooked and can see that I’ll want to investigate them even further.

Intrigued by the Press Release describing them as “Part-orchestral, part-electronic, part-soulful, part-progressive” I now know exactly where that description is coming from. This album is haunting, it has soul, it has real passion. Three years in the making and it’s easy to see why. Archive clearly don’t rush things and there’s a reason for that ”“ they make songs that are perfect.

I’ve spotted several members taking lead vocal on this album which adds a great deal of depth and intrigue.

Violently (my personal favourite) and Hatchet, the lead singles from the album, remind me of Recoil’s Luscious Apparatus from the Unsound Methods album. Tracks that start from something simple and grow and grow and grow into crashes of sound, throbbing basslines and immense voices.

It’s a very diverse album, helped by the multitude of vocalists. The vocals on Damage reminding me of Jon Anderson and those on Things Going Down of Kate Havnevik. Well, that’s my opinion anyway! In fact, so diverse is the album, you could almost be forgiven for thinking that it’s a record label sampler showing off several artists. - See more at: http://louderthanwar.com/archive-with-us-until-youre-dead-album-review/#sthash.OGyrs1IO.dpuf
