Following the release of his debut record, A Western Circular, Wilma Archer and Crack Magazine are very happy to share a special live performance film. Recorded in early March at London’s prestigious Metropolis Studios and directed by Benjamin Brook, the film captures Wilma Archer Group performing a suite of two album tracks, opening with the titular “A Western Circular” sequencing into “Killing Crab”. The performance, written and arranged by Wilma Archer, is the first visual documentation of the specially curated Wilma Archer Group.
“A Western Circular feels both strangely timeless and oddly new – a heavenly collaboration between Arthur Russell and David Axelrod” – MOJO, 4*
“A record in which the listener is led through various sonic twists and turns, never quite sure what lies around the corner. Beautiful stuff.” – Q Magazine, 4*
“The record moves dramatically between genres without feeling mismatched, emphasising Archer’s remarkable musicality and diversity as a composer.” - LOUD & QUIET
“Archer took half a decade to make this record – no surprise, then, it makes for such a wonderfully unhurried listen” – THE INDEPENDENT, 4*
“This new album by Wilma Archer is his best yet... Classic.” – GILLES PETERSON, BBC/ WORLDWIDE FM
