Archaic Revival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archaic Revival are a Canadian post-rock, classical and electronic collaboration based in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Formed in 1998, the ensemble has been quite influential. Working on a near orchestral scale, the two have been known to create wide dynamic ranges-utilising classical instrumentation. Archaic Revival are currently in the studio working on their new album, expected to be released in 2008.
[edit] About the band
Archaic Revival are most commonly classified as classical, but they exist outside any established scene and take influences from a range of styles including electronic, punk, blues, rock music and avant-garde. Composing, producing and playing each song unique to one another they are respected for their diversity.
Submission by Archaic Revival is a thoughtful and compassionate composition, sweetly taking one through a multitude of emotions and feelings. A musically diverse album that at times can be relaxing background music, or upbeat feel-good tunes. There seems to be a story to tell with few words to express it; instruments do the talking, especially in the song ECHO. Even though ECHO is a short song it still has strong emotion that it speaks too. ~Matt Scott
