Archers of Loaf 2022 - first album in 24 years! Reason in Decline

Hopefully, they’ll play London.

I love Icky Mettle and saw them at The Cargo when that was still a music venue and at ATP’s I’ll Be Your Mirror when ATP weren’t so consistent at cancelling their own festivals. Anyway, great live both times I’ve seen them. Love to see them play this year.

Remember reading about this late last year, seem like a shoo-in for Primavera.

What yes what

Absolutely love them, went to my first Primavera just to see them really - first proper band on the first day, so I was blackout drunk passing out by the toilets by 8pm on a Thursday. And it was worth every second of it :slight_smile:

Mallrats.

This sounds exactly like Up The Junction by Squeeze

Surprised and disappointed they aren’t on the Primavera lineup :frowning:

new tune’s kinda nice

I forgot to listen to this when I came out, excited

Being drunk as hell on the first evening of my first Prima with a best friend and seeing these guys will probably be an all-time life highlight tbh

Lol I posted the exact same thing in Feb - I need new stories!

Only given the new album one listen so far but definitely liking it, will be back to drop more opinions later on

on an AOL kick just now. Reason in Decline is actually a pretty great album after such an absurdly long gap, don’t sound like the same band but still sound like a good band

no weak points really, but Saturation and Light definitely the highlight to me. Huge and sparkling, feels like I Still Remember by Bloc Party in the best way

now onto All the Nations Airports. What a weird brilliant underrated album that is. Scenic Pastures is gorgeous, every bit the equal of something like Gold Soundz

like, a messy indie band dropping a piano ballad as great and odd as Chumming the Ocean? masterpiece

Icky Mettle is a perfect album

Greatest of all time is such an absolute corker innit. Dunno why I’m on such a big Archers mission currently.
