Archive

Archive returns to Paris with a new chapter. Formed in Croydon in 1994, the London collective has since its beginnings carved out a path between trip-hop, post‑rock and electronic music, blending sweeping synth pads, taut guitars and multiple voices. Their 13th studio album, Glass Minds, is scheduled for 27 February 2026 on Dangervisit, distributed by PIAS. On stage, the band brings these new songs to life alongside standout selections from their catalogue, in expansive formats where tension builds and then resolves.

Join them on 3 April 2026 at La Seine Musicale, Boulogne‑Billancourt to experience this new material live. More than two decades of back-and-forth between studio and touring have shaped a variable-geometry identity, marked by a taste for contrasting moods, crescendos and finely detailed textures. Archive cultivate an art of assembly: downtempo grooves, repetitive motifs, bursts of strings and sudden electronic ruptures. It’s a terrain suited to tracks that stretch, contract and tip over without warning, carried by a precise rhythm section and omnipresent keyboards. An evening to take the measure of their trajectory and the new directions outlined by Glass Minds.
