Archie Pelago Archie Pelago

Archie Pelago is a production and live performance trio based in Brooklyn, NY. Formed in late 2010, the trio of Hirshi (trumpet/Ableton), Cosmo D (cello/Ableton) and Kroba (sax/Ableton) combine their varied backgrounds in jazz and classical music with a common love for rhythm and the wide open possibilities of electronic music.
 
In the studio, the three produce collectively and prominently feature their instruments, lending deeply emotive patterns and textures to their tracks. On the stage, the group innovatively combines DJ-style performance with live playing and processing of their instruments, conjuring singular renditions of their original works as well as music that inspires them.
 
In the last two months, Archie Pelago has released a collaborative LP with West Coast producer Grenier, titled, Archie Pelago Meets Grenier as well as putting out four tracks on the Mister Saturday Night compilation Brothers and Sisters. Earlier this year, Archie Pelago released their latest record, the Lakeside Obelisk EP on their own Brooklyn-based imprint, Archie Pelago Music. This follows their first two releases on their own label, the Sly Gazabo EP and the Breezy Whey / Backflight 12”, which received critical acclaim in Spin, Resident Advisor, DJMag, Tsugi and XLR8R, collectively. Their single Avocado Roller was featured on Pitchfork and was included on NPR’s Heavy Rotation series. Current radio support includes NPR, KCRW, KEXP, KWUR, WFMU, WBAR, WNYU, Solid Steel, Mary Anne Hobbs, and Gilles Peterson. Archie Pelago can currently be heard on their SUB.FM radio show Sundays 11pm-1am UK time.
