With Jools Holland’ and championed by tastemakers at BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music. Following the release of her debut EP ‘Never So Red’ (November, 2023), she has supported the likes of The Futureheads and The Last Dinner Party on tour. On '\u003cem\u003eThe Dance Of Death\u003c\/em\u003e', Archer channels these experiences and reconstructs some of the oldest songs in the English canon with fractured, future-facing production.

Influenced by the work of Little Dragon, Hannah Peel, Rosalía, Björk and Bat for Lashes, Archer approaches folk as a producer first.
