Archie Sagers shares final single ‘Columbus’ from new album ‘Dreams Along The Shore’

Lyrically, the track delves into the feeling of uncertainty in your early twenties; the contrast of being a fully grown adult yet never feeling more confused and daunted by the world before you. On the inspiration for the new single Archie says:

‘I wrote Columbus when I felt my most aimless. I was working as a chef in a restaurant where all the other staff were in their teens. Without any clear purpose or future plans for jobs or careers, I felt down and wanted to go away and magically find some purpose. Columbus was an exploration in running away across the sea. The track takes its name from the Kogonada film where the main character is struggling to leave the town and make something with her life - I really connected to the film's beautiful visuals and subtle storytelling and it was a big inspiration for the music video.’

‘Dreams Along The Shore’ (September 12th) is the 2nd album from Archie. Self-produced, with production on two songs coming from Matthew Gleeson (Welly), the album takes inspiration from beaches in Cornwall. The latter half of the tracklisting derives its name from the Newquay coastline. Conjuring up nostalgia-laden memories, these beaches are where Archie spent many summers having picnics with his grandparents, surfing with friends and walking late at night. Despite growing and drifting from those close to him, the beach remained a constant. The album aims to express those memories, a longing to return while also showing appreciation for what’s changed.
