Maria Q sang on three (including backing) tracks. A new modern era for Archive had begun with Darius, Dan and Pollard all writing and co-writing seven tracks and Dave Pen co-writing three, on the album, "Lights". Because of the latter circumstances, the three began writing and rehearsing together, and were recording in Southside Studios, London, by September 2005. Pollard had given Darius a demo CD of his own written material, with the intention of starting another project with Dan and Darius. During this same tour, Keeler and Griffiths met the singer Pollard Berrier (formally of the band Bauchklang) at one of their shows in Vienna, Austria. In Autumn of 2004, Archive announced that Dave Pen ( BirdPen) would replace Walker on the Noise tour. In November 2004, Archive began their European tour without Walker, posting on their website that Walker would not be joining the band as he has left Archive due to personal differences. In winter of 2014, teaser music from the band's upcoming album was used for a TV advertisement for Meetic. One of the three composed albums was the soundtrack to the French film Michel Vaillant, released in November 2003. "You All Look The Same To Me" (2002), "Noise" (2004), and "Michel Vaillant" were albums that marked a turning point of the Archive sound that gradually turned away from their roots in electronica and trip hop and towards more of a psychedelic and progressive style. Craig Walker answered the advert and immediately began working with the band and singing on the tune that Darius wrote, entitled, "Again".īetween 20, the band released three studio albums with Walker to further growing popularity and critical acclaim.
After establishing a new sound to work with, the boys placed an advert in Mojo magazine, looking for a new lead singer. In 2000, Keeler and Griffiths began to demo new tracks for further studio production. Due to differences of musical taste with an undisclosed number of producers the band tried to work with on the album, they have described it as their least favorite album the band recorded. The album features a mix of pop and symphonic trip hop, far more melodic than its predecessor. In 1999, Archive released their second studio album on Independiente, entitled Take My Head. In 1997, Keeler and Griffiths regrouped and continued Archive with another female singer, Suzanne Wooder. However, creative differences on the follow up resulted in the band once again breaking up. The album featured a mix of dark trip hop, electronica, string arrangements and classically influenced songwriting. Londinium was released on Island Records in September 1996. A few months later, the group reformed with new personnel and began recording their debut album. After releasing a few singles on their own label, they broke up in early 1996 following a dispute. History Londinium & Take My Head (1994–1999) Īrchive was formed in 1994 as a trip-hop band when Darius Keeler and Danny Griffiths formed up with Roya Arab and rapper Rosko John.
