Stumbled across Archive last week, an English band that sort of mixes trip-hop with progressive rock. They’ve been around since the mid-nineties, but I hadn’t heard of them until now. I thought I’d share their video for “Again”, from their 2002 album You All Look the Same to Me:
The character animations are a little dodgy at times, but the settings and the way they used light is impressive. It’s a great song, too. I especially like the harmonica work. The original version’s actually sixteen minutes long, but it’s worth a listen.
This is a large part of why I love Last.fm. They recommend bands based on what you’ve been listening to, and it’s a great way to find new music.
That’s a really good tune, kinda P Floydish in its blending of roots (the harmonica) and electronica. I’ll definitely be checking these guys out.
I’m liking the rest of their music so far. There’s a good variety of sound between albums.
