Archers by the Sea I can't find much info on, I think i'll just have to make up a story about them. Archers are 3 mutant zebra/fish hybrids who reside off the coast of Oban, Western Scotland in a dilapidated shack reinforced with the flattened skins of old rusty oil drums. Between them they communicate telepathically to create beautiful, slightly lo-fi shimmering dronescapes with a faint murky aquatic feel. Fuzzy waves and ethereal echoes of guitar fallout occasionally buzz lightly around the edges of this deeply calming kaleidoscopic lake and when each piece is satisfactorily completed, they celebrate by playing blackjack and drinking gallons of single malt whiskey (cos they can - they're half fish!) whilst braying & flapping around a great deal. One of the most pleasurable releases i've had the fortune to hear on the ever consistent Under the Spire, 'The Surf' is no'd of 100 in the usual hand stamped Arigato pack.
