Archive - Wingwomen (Soundtrack from the Netflix movie)

British band Archive release their soundtrack to new French film Voleuses (Thieves), known as Wingwomen, in the UK.

Music from the film, by the band Archive, is a captivating fusion of electronic, avant-garde, post-rock, and progressive rock. This London-based musical group has skillfully incorporated a plethora of musical elements to create an immersive auditory panorama. The music mirrors the narrative of Carole and Alex, two skilled thieves fighting for freedom.

Archive frontman Darius Keeler said: “‘Voleuses’ is the second major film soundtrack we’ve done in our career, in some ways I’m surprised we haven’t done more given how cinematic the band’s music is. We get asked, but they have to come along at the right time, and they absolutely have to feel right as a project. ‘Voleuses’ fitted the bill on both counts, we had the time and space creatively to take it on after our ‘Call To Arms & Angels’ tour was pushed back a year, and learning that Melanie Laurent was a fan of Archive just served to seal the deal.

Normally a film soundtrack pushes you outside of your creative zone, but knowing Melanie wanted us involved because she was a fan of the band’s music enabled us to approach the soundtrack almost like an album, and I definitely think it stands up, judged as an Archive album away from the film. Hopefully fans of the band will agree and hopefully they’ll love the film too!“

The soundtrack is available for pre-order on an exclusive 12-inch single jacket audiophile vinyl with a printed inner sleeve.
