Archipelago
Archipelago will be teasing brand new music from their next album, inspired by collaging together snippets of their personal conversations over the past few years, where they tell stories about about their lives, woes and finding the humour in the dark. Turns out their conversations cover cliff witches, party rings, doom-y 3 part harmonies and crows.
‘Very original, evocative, and at times haunting’ - Kevin Le Gendre, BBC Radio 3
Archipelago are a genre-defying trio of adventurous musicians, formed out of the North East of England’s creative musical underground. Fronted by saxophonist, clarinetist, singer and composer Faye MacCalman and completed by John Pope (Bass) and Christian Alderson (Drums); their sound is a dreamlike collision of otherworldly atmospheres, heartfelt song-writing and energetic off-kilter rhythms. Moving between instruments and effects to create the illusion of a much larger ensemble, before peeling back to their raw, improvisational trio form, Archipelago’s uncompromising refusal to fit in one genre makes for a fully-charged musical experience.
With influences stretching from Joni Mitchell to Don Cherry to Esperanza Spalding, Archipelago draw on a deep pool of sonic references and the diversity of their individual musical histories.
Supported by BBC Introducing and selected as a Latitude Festival highlight by Tom Robinson (BBC6 Music), their critically acclaimed album ‘Echoes to the Sky’ was released in June 2021 on Newcastle’s growing New Jazz and Improvised Music Recordings label. Echoes To The Sky was selected as one of the best albums of 2021 by Jazzwise Magazine and saw Archipelago nominated for UK Jazz Act of the year in the Jazz FM Awards. They also received backing from renowned DJ Gilles Peterson, further cementing their growing reputation as an unmissable live act.

‘A quiet fire ...a gently held back power and energy that I absolutely love’ - Corey Mwamba- BBC Radio 3 Freeness
“ **** Superb...epically adventurous... An impressive unity of vision” - Jazzwise

Anna Tempest
Singer songwriter - Anglo German Siren core, brewing a heart filled sad girl storm from the depths of the Colne valley. As moving as the rising mist, chilling as the blackened waters, soul stirring as the windswept moorlands. Loft guitar melodies and warm vocals bringing together local folklore and nature in dreamy songs.
