Taking influence from bands such as: The Cure, DIIV, Joy Division and The Chameleons. Archie Sager's debut album reflects on his life so far, combining Dream Pop and Shoegaze with Indie hooks and slowing down for more Ambient sections inspired by Eno.
This album is about the period between childhood and adulthood. Questioning yourself, meeting new people and finding a purpose all impose looming challenges. Whether it’s the fear of leaving “I Don’t Wanna Leave Home” the feeling of being stuck without a purpose “Finally Free” and “Stuck in the Void” or finding a guiding hand “I Found You.” The songs also pause on moments of peace “Beneath the Surface” and “Cherry Blossom” where the worries of the world don’t seem to matter. Archie Sagers’ debut album is about accepting change around you and enjoying experiences for what they are. I hope you can all welcome the steady march of time and experience a “Happy New Year”
Three singles from the album have been previously released (Beneath the Surface, Through the Leaves and Finally Free) with the second single being picked up by the spotify editorial team.
This album feels like a culmination of my life so far. Its filled my days during lockdown and is incredibly important to me.
Thank you all for a wonderful year (despite the pretty bad year the world has given us) - I'm extremely excited about the future of the label
\"combines the driving bass lines of Peter Hook with the chilling guitar work of Robert Smith to provide plenty of post-punk energy, pulsating rhythms, and thought-provoking DIY psychedelic visuals\" - WhiteLight WhiteHeat
Finally Free - \"A blanket of synths trails this lovely adventure, ascending crisp cymbals and steady drum progressions beckoning groovy, bass line fixtures. Featuring a muffled voice lethargic and beaten through an infinite space of reverberation.\" - Anti: Music Review
