Powell, Archie & The Exports
Great Ideas In Action
Has bemused cynicism and ennui ever been so fun? Archie Powell & the Exports have made a career of grafting prismatic
power pop and sardonic, dark looks at the world outside into guileless songs with hooks galore. Archie Powell makes it
look simple; he is incapable of writing an un-danceable tune, whether he turns a jaundiced eye on the culture of
self-medication or whipping up a 3 minute heist story. Great Ideas In Action is the bands third release of deceptively
sophisticated songs. Blink and its killer catchy rock, blink twice and its social commentary that is sad, biting, funny
but ultimately incredibly honest. Powells writing could easily come
from someone twice his age but it never feels studied - his humanity just shines through and demolishes any doubts about
where he stands. This package contains a digital download card.
