Archive

Since 1994, Archive has been moving between trip-hop, post-rock and progressive rock, reinventing its contours with every album. The London collective likes to reshuffle the deck: electronic textures, brooding synths, stretched guitars, multiple voices and nested, drawer-like structures. On stage, these elements answer and extend one another, creating a journey conceived as a continuous whole rather than a mere sequence of songs. True to this shifting aesthetic, the band will be at La Cartonnerie in Reims on 28 March 2026 to present Glass Mind, their 13th album, released on 27 February 2026.

More than twenty-five years of experimentation between downtempo pulses and abrasive surges have forged a language that is instantly recognizable without becoming repetitive. Archive brings together audiences from rock, electronic and cinematic-scale music, with tracks that take their time to unfold and build tension. Live, you find a continuous narrative where new compositions intersect with key pieces from the catalogue, with constant attention paid to textures and dynamics — a signature that evolves without hardening.
