Glass Minds is the 13th studio album by the British collective Archive, released on February 27, 2026, via their own label Dangervisit. The album follows the monumental trilogy Call To Arms & Angels (2022) and is praised as one of their most coherent and mature works to date.
Prog Wereld (Dutch, translated): “Glass Minds is sung by Lisa Mottram. Her girlish voice is disarming and penetrating at the same time. Her vocals here are exceptionally good. In terms of atmosphere, the song is reminiscent of Dead Can Dance. Here too, a simple drum rhythm forms the basis. The art of omission has been elevated to an art form here. Everything is sparse, yet has maximum impact. The brass section propels the song to emotional heights. Be sure to listen to and watch the live version below, which was recorded in Vienna in February 2026 with the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra. Goosebumps. (…)
“Glass Minds” is without a doubt Archive’s best album to date. Never before have they sounded so coherent and managed to evoke so many different emotions. Everything has been well thought out, and unlike previous albums, they never go off the rails or feel like the album is ‘too much’. It is inevitable that this album will become a classic.”
