From the new e.p. “New Colours In The Sky”:

“Never settling in on a moment
I move through wasted time
Is it all just a simulation
Leaving life for the slaughter house
I was left on a pilgrims journey
Travelling through the fourth dimension
Is there any meaning to it
Gone now, so it goes
Can’t turn away
From the stars
What will be
Will always be
Travelling through space and time
When the night was cold and the mist hung low
It was then that my life changed forever
Gone now, so it goes”
New Colours In The Sky is Archie’s second E.P. and it features his best songwriting to date. with higher production standards and more complex instrumentation, this new E.P. promises to deliver catchy dream-pop / post-punk songs with resonant emotional themes.
The E.P. was written whilst away from home for the first time, telling the story of Archie falling in love and finding a new place to be from. For this new E.P. Archie created tracks from his cramped university bedroom during the second and third U.K. lockdowns.
Inspired by the music of The Cure, The Chameleons, Joy Division and New Order; “New Colours In The Sky” blends post-punk basslines and song structures with dreamy vocals, swirling guitars, catchy hooks and ambient drones.
“The beautiful post punk DIIV style – muffled and bright at the same time” – Shoegazeblog.com
“Combines the driving bass lines of Peter Hook with the chilling guitar work of Robert Smith to provide plenty of post-punk energy” – White Light White Heat
“Bedroom pop and shoegaze come sweetly” – Girl Underground Music (2020)
