When they emerged from North Carolina's '90s indie-punk incubator, the Archers' hurtling, sly, gloriously dissonant roar was a mythologized touchstone of slacker-era refusal. But this new LP is an entirely different noise. In fact, it's a startling revelation. Guitarists Eric Bachmann and Eric Johnson, once headstrong smartasses inciting a series of artful pileups on the band's four studio albums and EP, are now a fluidly complementary, sonically advanced unit. Notably, Johnson's signature trebly lines peal clearly above the din instead of struggling to be heard. Today, singer-songwriter Bachmann's lyrics balance righteous wrath with a complex tangle of adult perspective. He still spits bile, but it's less likely to concern scene politics, music trends, or shady record labels thwarting the dreams of a young rock band. Bachmann puts it bluntly: \"What I really think about going back to the Archers and doing a new record is that the three other members of this band are awesome. It's not about responding to the past or whatever our bullshit legacy is. I just wanted to work with these guys because I knew the chemistry we had and that we still have. I knew that was rare.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Human \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Saturation and Light \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Screaming \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Undercover \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Mama Was a War \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Profiteer \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Aimee \u003cbr\u003e1.8 In the Surface Noise \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Breaking Even \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Misinformation Age \u003cbr\u003e1.11 The Moment You End \u003cbr\u003e1.12 War Is Wide Open\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Archers of Loaf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39720888664135,"sku":"42858331","price":13.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4117858-2865009.jpg?v=1711771637","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/archers-of-loaf-reason-in-decline","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
