Tre dischi negli ultimi tre anni, per un totale di dieci dischi dal 1997, gli Archive si presentano così.
Tour massacranti, dischi come se piovessero; 2014 – Axiom 2015 – Restriction 2016 -The False Foundation, tre dischi davvero molto belli, poche le sbavature, pochi i lati oscuri, molte le certezze, si perchè loro sono una certezza, almeno quando fanno dischi.
A dir la verità il brano che è stato pubblicato su Soundcloud è una cosetta così così, niente di che, uno scherzo della natura, non brutto, forse anche peggio, anonimo.
Ma il video che usciva il 20 giugno, Driving In Nails faceva intuire tutt’altro
Meglio ancora quello che usciva il 13 di settembre; Bright Lights colma un vuoto pneumatico che era più stridente delle unghie sulla lavagna, un brano eccellente.
Poi il brano pubblicato il 29 settembre sulla piattaforma Soundcloud; brutto, e come dicevo….anonimo, senza spina dorsale. Ma si, un passo falso glie lo possiamo concedere, a patto però che The False Foundation rispecchi il vero volto della band londinese, vale a dire quello dei primi due video.
The False Foundation uscirà in formato CD, liquido e in doppio vinile.
