Archie Pelago, who over the past few years have released several EPs on labels as diverse as Mister Saturday Night, Melodic and Tecnonic, return with a new full-length album, titled Off-Peak, released on their own Archie Pelago Music label.
It's a soundtrack for a video game created by Archie Pelago cellist Cosmo D. The game's website describes the premise as such: "you're stranded at cathedral-like train station in the near future, searching for a ticket out of town. Explore the secret passageways, interact with strangers, dig for records, and get hypnotized by the soundtrack - a new batch of never-before-heard Archie Pelago tunes."
Those tunes, which the New York-based trio have been working on for several years, make up the Off-Peak LP. The record also features vocal contributions from the likes of Novelty Daughter and Gabe Garzon-Montano.
