Trip hop group Archive, hailing from the UK, was formed in 1994 by [artist1] and [artist2], along with female singer [singer1] and young rapper [rapper]. They released their debut album [album1] but disbanded in 1996 due to internal disputes. However, they later reformed in 1999 with a new lineup and released their second album [album2]. Over the years, Archive has continued to evolve their sound, incorporating elements of rock, electronic, and pop. They have received critical acclaim for albums like [album3], [album4], and "[album5]." In addition to their studio work, Archive has also composed soundtracks for films.

Archive's music has garnered international success, reaching the top of the charts in countries like France and Greece. Their single "Bullets" became a fan favorite and even featured in the teaser trailer for Cyberpunk 2077. The band's live performances have been highly regarded as well, with sold-out shows on their "Lights" Tour and appearances at various festivals across Europe.

In recent years, Archive has continued to create new music while undergoing changes within the band. They released albums such as "[album6]" and "[album7]," showcasing their ability to blend orchestral, electronic, soulful, progressive elements into deeply personal songs. Their latest release is the twelfth studio album titled "[album8]," featuring vocalist Lisa Mottram

london-based post-rock outfit archive were founded by darius keeler and danny griffiths in 1994, playing over genres which encompass progressive rock, to electronica, to trip-hop, and accumulating a great deal of critical acclaim in the process. this album was recorded at paris' zenith arena in january 2007, a show which not only sold out of tickets but received rave reviews. archive's music is a compelling mix of the deceptively simple and the breathtakingly complex. hard-edged riffs on fourth track 'veins' are alternated with sparse keyboards and sweet, clear vocals from songbird maria q, spiralling into a melodic, perfectly controlled piece that speaks simultaneously of love and alienation, like an opera shrunk to the most micro of microcosms. songs are constructed, like a modern symphony, from the simplest of motifs, expanded and worked up to sophisticated yet airy, elegant aural structures that are a delight to listen to. but don't think that archive are all rarefied atmosphere with their eyes on higher things; sixth track 'fuck u' is a darkly intricate, bitter, guitar-heavy piece with wide-awake bitchy lyrics that "can't believe you were once like anyone else, but you grew and became like the devil himself". in its repetitive, edgy anger this is probably the most widely accessible track contained on this album. archive are not easy to place in one category or another, and yet this extraordinarily clear yet sophisticated album has universal appeal, both to music fans of all genres, and especially to those who are musicians themselves, who can only wish they could produce work of this calibre.
