Hello, so instruments recording at the mo? When will it be for voices? When mixing? How do you decide when a song has to be modified or repealled/cut and who is part of those decisions "team" and who's got the final decision?

We are working on vocals at the moment, Pollard is belting it out as i type

Do/Did you ever watch your shows on video and if yes, what do you think when you see yourself on stage?

we don’t tend to do that often to be honest , once we have played a show and so forth its done and we prefer the memory of the show as it’s happening. occasionally we will watch ourselves on youtube if one us fell over so we can laugh !!

Hi there, here are some questions we thought about. As the new album seems to be more experimental, should we expect the tracks to be longer than usual? Will the new album be like your previous one about your vision of the world and our society? Do you have projects with others artists outside the collective? How was The Rock en Seine gig from your side? Thank U for your time.

Some of the tracks are lengthy as is always the case with Archive, the concept of the album has moved on from controlling crowds.we have other projects Darius has been working with a group called safx and Dave has collaborated on Robin Fosters New album which is out now plus he has just finished recording and mixing the second birdpen album.

The Rock en seine gig was amazing for us and we loved it.. it was a great experience and we hope to play more shows of that size and stature.

Hi, you arguing even having a row someitmes, don't you? How far can it go? How do you deal with afterwards?Thanks.

someone has to make the other person a sandwich and then everything is ok. we are passionate about what we do so sometimes things get heated but that’s natural and we all have an understanding of each other so we talk about things. We also have a private councelor and therapist, like Brian Wilson !!

How would you describe the future album? Which direction are you going to while recording it?

More eclectic than Ken Russell on acid.

Forwards … !

Hi ! Why do you never play Michel Vaillant's music in live ? It's a very good album ! Thanks !

We have done in the past and ‘Bridge Scene’ is an incredible live track and we love playing it, it’s just that we have a hell of a lot of song’s to choose from and as you may know some of those are not very short and we only have a certain amount of time to play them….
