There’s not much information floating around about Archer. He’s a Victorian singer-songwriter who’s recording some brilliant alt-country with a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek humour. This album, The ‘Divine Church Of The Open Sky Vol 2’ refused to leave my mind since it arrived at Eastside late last year, and the more I keep coming back to it the better it sounds.

This is from his page at Pound Records:

“well you woodnt call him smart but you woodnt call him stupid neither… he does have sum kindofa way about him…weather he be damned or blessed he certanly can pull a song outta the deep earth or the spaceless space and make you wanta cry or yell or just about any plain ol thing…”

This is off his previous album, but will give you an idea of the style:

He’s due at the station for an interview in the next couple of weeks so you’ll get to hear from him yourself. He’s been communicating with us in character via email so we’re amused, intrigued, and looking forward to meeting the man, the enigma, in the flesh.

You can listen to and purchase the new album here at Bandcamp, stream it here on Spotify and connect with the self-described Old Time Sing Song Man here on Facebook.
