New York’s The Archive have been working on their debut for the better part of the last two years, and the effort has finally paid off.
Great Low Down is a strong collection of tunes owing equal debt to U.K. modern rock and whiskey-soaked Americana. Twin guitars crunch like Crazy Horse, and vocalist John Epperly belts with a confidence recalling a pre-fame Bono or less maladjusted Thom Yorke.
We are pleased to present the world premiere video for “Julia Dear.” The complete album will be available for purchase on November 2, but eager listeners can preview three additional tracks now via Soundcloud.
The band is celebrating the release of Great Low Down with a show November 2 at Zebulon in Brooklyn. Opening ceremonies will be provided by the psychedelic sounds of Your 33 Black Angels.
Zebulon is located at 258 Wythe Ave. (at Metropolitan), Brooklyn, NY 11211. 9 p.m.; admission is free.
