"

Il bastone e la carota
Gli Archives sono una giovane formazione scozzese alle prese con un demo a metà strada tra il post-rock e lo screamo, abbracciando la fluidità dei Mogwai con le lacerazioni sonore degli Envy.

Si parte subito col piglio deciso di "What's with All the Brutal Honesty" che mostra immediatamente i muscoli; la successiva "Breaking Bread with Models and Martyrs" vira verso paesaggi più affini al post pur conservando una rabbia primitiva che scalpita sottopelle e che esplode in una folle carica finale. La conclusiva "Divine Circuitry" rappresenta la vetta artistica, otto minuti di intarsi strumentali ed urla viscerali strutturati secondo un'estetica in cui convergono bellezza e dolore.

Tre tracce che svelano un'eccellente organizzazione sonora infarcita da una tempistica irreprensibile ed un pathos incombente. Onestamente di più non si poteva chiedere."

It recieved 3.5 out of 5

If anyone were able, and could be bothered, to translate this (reasonably accurately) please feel free

Using Google translator:

"The stick and carrot
The Archives are a couple training Scots struggling with a demo halfway between post-rock and screamo, embracing fluidity of Mogwai with lacerations sound of Envy.

It starts immediately with piglio decided to "What's with All the Brutal Honesty" showing muscles immediately, the next "Breaking Bread with Models and Martyrs" turns to the most similar to the post while retaining a primitive rage that scalpita under the skin and explodes in a crazy final charge. The concluding "Divine Circuitry" is the artistic peak, eight minutes inlays instrumental and screams visceral structured according aesthetics converge in which beauty and pain.

Three tracks that reveal an organization infarcita sound from a timing irreproachable and a looming pathos. Honestly no longer could ask."

What utter mince...
