Archive - Glass Minds (Expanded Edition) (2026)

Glass Minds is the follow-up to the band’s 2022 triple-album set, Call to Arms and Angels, which charted Top 10 in countries right across Europe and saw the band headline their biggest live shows to date, culminating at the 15,000 capacity Paris Accor Arena in November 2023.

Talking about the new album, Darius Keeler of Archive said: The album all started after we composed the song Patterns. We really loved the space and minimalistic power of the song, it reminded us of our debut album Londinium, and how we approached writing at that time - heavy rhythm with a melancholy that penetrates the soul. I was listening to Elgar’s Nimrod a lot at the time we started writing the new album, and I wanted to use brass as an added dimension, bringing even more emotion to the songs. Our last album, Call to Arms and Angels was a pretty heavy record in retrospect, due to the whole Covid experience. This one feels like we’re breaking out into a more expansive and uplifting dimension.
