Gold Again 02:53
I live my life Young and Old Bright in spring Living gold All his leaves Will fall at length And look he stands With naked strength Like the oak It’s then and now Trunk and bough Will lean to bow The summer’s-rich And autumn changed Sober-hued It’s gold again Flowers blocking all my sight Went to start a new And I left that night Silver streaming through the panes The oak will guide Til gold again
2.
No I won’t ever live fast I won’t die behind This new age curtain Of modern life The bribes and soul Are so sublime But I can’t live there Etched on the knife And slow with each passing day My heart and mind, I’ve lead astray One thought extended to the home Through grass and trees I used to roam Hands on my head, I’m leaving now Pulled, through the sky Sinking, and I don’t know why Cold metal thoughts Soul forgotten, down below the stars, I fell Watching me grow up It would be such a drag Losing control With no air bag Cutting my hair Starting up a band Trading in my life I really couldn’t live fast Wouldn’t wanna leave you there Stuck in the joy Of modern life Make it back home On my own terms But I can’t live there Etched on the knife And slow with each passing day My heart and mind, I’ve lead astray One thought extended to the home Through grass and trees I used to roam Hand on my heart, I’ll stay right here

Glitter 03:44
Soaked, Stumbling in the rain Passing through empty streets again The wind throws me to the ground Other than you, there's no sound Violet swirls occupy my sight Glitter falls from the sky And I know the moon is full tonight Light is bouncing off your eyes Walking past lines of cars Blinding lights fill the floor with stars Tonight is only the start And I'm warm in the jacket of your arms I think I am just my eyes Reaching forward, for the flood And I’m stuck on the door, on the way in
4.
Pine, swaying in the woods Dusk, spills onto the ground Stars crossing through my head I took your hand, won’t leave you there Blue steel water fills my eyes, can’t escape the moon tonight Don’t walk away Through the clouds Among the treetops There’s no sound Don’t walk away Don’t walk away A cold, fills the world Half asleep, ready to go The grass is parting underfoot and I forgot the path we took Blue sunrise restores my sight, my heart won't start till morning light Don’t turn away From the stars A mirrored skyline Will draw you near Don’t turn away Don't turn away
5.
Hypnotised 03:05
The dusk lifts, when you are near Stare into, your eyes Floating below, red hair Neon, dragonflies Lanterns line the pier, their light Dancing through the waves With a warmth flowing through my heart, We stand in the sea It was there, I thought of you Ankle deep, in the waves It was then, you smiled to me Hypnotised on the beach

31st October 02:13
Dance with me, in my room Held close to me, we sway on the spot And my heart will beat, out of step You’re all I see, just for tonight It’s the 31st of October, Halloween We’ll go into town and have brunch by the sea Hide from the rain and sing prince in the streets And on the bus home, I’ll sleep for a week Dance with me, through the weeks We’ll spin into the sun, and past the sky Halfway through autumn, and into the cold Standing by the door, waiting for someone Waiting there, for a moment to rise Fall into me and we’ll start again It’s the 31st of October, Halloween We’ll go into town and have brunch by the sea Hide from the rain and sing prince in the streets And on the bus home, I’ll sleep for a week
7.
Never settling in on a moment I move through wasted time Is it all just a simulation Leaving life for the slaughter house I was left on a pilgrims journey Travelling through the fourth dimension Is there any meaning to it Gone now, so it goes Can’t turn away From the stars What will be Will always be Travelling through space and time When the night was cold and the mist hung low It was then that my life changed forever Gone now, so it goes

about

New Colours In The Sky is Archie's second E.P. and it features his best songwriting to date. with higher production standards and more complex instrumentation, this new E.P. promises to deliver catchy dream-pop / post-punk songs with resonant emotional themes.

The E.P. was written whilst away from home for the first time, telling the story of Archie falling in love and finding a new place to be from. For this new E.P. Archie created tracks from his cramped university bedroom during the second and third U.K. lockdowns.

Inspired by the music of The Cure, The Chameleons, Joy Division and New Order; "New Colours In The Sky" blends post-punk basslines and song structures with dreamy vocals, swirling guitars, catchy hooks and ambient drones.


"The beautiful post punk DIIV style - muffled and bright at the same time" - Shoegazeblog.com

"Combines the driving bass lines of Peter Hook with the chilling guitar work of Robert Smith to provide plenty of post-punk energy" - White Light White Heat

"Bedroom pop and shoegaze come sweetly" - Girl Underground Music (2020)
