NEWS: Archives swim with the fishes?

Joined by Lewis MacRae of Rituals fame Northern Ireland homewreckers Archives have unleashed a music video for “Sharkpit” to celebrate the release of their sophomore album “No Bliss In Ignorance“. An album that also features the presence of Benji Mars of Waterlines it combines brutal music with melodic hooks and boundless energy and is one we reviewed earlier this week.

Vocalist Adam Holland shares, “SHARKPIT conceptually deals with the issues of corruption within the banking system and how if you lose control & get stuck in debt which is the case for so many it can feel as though you’re drowning & can’t swim out to save yourself.”

Delving into the concept of the album Holland adds: “It illustrates how some things in life, however easier to ignore, will only hurt & bring you down in the long run if you choose to ignore them. A direct contrast to ignorance is bliss.”
