Archive - Fuck U
 
I was just watching french movie called Les Irreductibles. there is that opening song for a movie, well it's very poppy/indie like, but it has that great lyric. I really like it. I checked the credits and it is a band called Archive. Wikipedia saying it's a English band which became very popular in France for some reason. I never heard about that band. do you know that song. you like it yourself? is it worth checking them out, or is it just this song? cheers.

One of my friends told me about Archive, but i've never come across with their music... i might check them in the near future.

I llike(d) them enuff..
Started off pretty "trip-hop"-ish a la old massive attack, then the sounds got more sharp, and imo better overall.
Fuck U is on the album called Noise, which isn't actually that noisy, eh he, I like the more heavy/stompy tracks on there, not so much the slower ones..a bit of radiochead-pink floydian aftertaste.
Some good songs on previous albums too, a bit "hit and miss" tracklists but still good in the "genre".

long story short: worth checking out, but don't expect too much. Making a best of out of their albums could result in a really nice tracklist, though.

I'd recommend you to check Calla, sort of similar band, great "pop" - weirder than standard rock band, melodies and nice ideas in most songs.

I thought you were dissing my friend Slimm's label - maybe cuz he just put out a Zaika lathe 7" in a small edition hard to get?
