”Now I am about to release my debut album, Silence Is Loud. Not only it is my longest work yet, but it also serves as an evolution of my sound. The kaleidoscopic flair typical of an Archives recording is still there, but there’s a new rawness and tenderness to my voice.
I did a lot of the clubby stuff on earlier projects because I wanted to prove to people that I can produce. That I can make sick tunes. I love rave music, but I don’t necessarily listen to albums that sound like that. I love albums that tell stories.
Listeners can still expect to hear high BPMs, deep synths and rapid breakbeats, but Silence Is Loud has more melody, alt-rock-inspired guitar riffs and passionate vocals. I’ve talked in the past about how Amy Winehouse being a big inspiration to me, and you can very much hear it in my voice, while elsewhere there are nods to the Beatles, Blur and Natalie Imbruglia.”
