ARCHIVE, the unique, enigmatic and acclaimed collective who formed in Croydon, South London in 1994, have today shared ‘City Walls’, the latest single from their forthcoming 13th studio album Glass Minds, which is released on Friday 27th February 2026 via the band’s own Dangervisit label through [PIAS].

Talking about ‘City Walls’, which follows previous singles ‘Look At Us’, and ‘Wake Up Strange’, and is accompanied by a stunning video directed by Maxim Kelly,  ARCHIVE main man Darius Keeler said:

‘City Walls’ is a hauntingly beautiful song with a ‘stop you in your tracks’ vocal from Pollard Berrier. The video that accompanies it, directed once again by Maxim Kelly, is a truly stunning piece of art in its own right.

The track listing of the album, produced by Archive and long-term collaborator Jerome Devoise, recorded at Metway Studios, Brighton & Angel Studios, London and mixed at Studio DES, Paris, is as follows. The album artwork was designed by Saatchi Gallery collected artist Alaric Hammond:
