Sudden Dusk is the recorded debut of Archer, a working band comprised of four singular voices on the international improvised music scene.

"It’s not all bursts of sonic lighting though.  There’s a depth and soulfulness on display in the quieter sections of the music like the piece Half Stack that demonstrate the patience of richly seasoned players basking in simplicity.  Subtleties of tone and timbre float over a repetitive guitar ostinato, providing a gorgeous counterpoint to the spikier sections of tracks like Omen and Bright Side.  Overall it’s a carefully calibrated balance between the pent up energy of baited breath, and the slow release of a long exhale."
