archways

Archways was formed by Chris Kordash and Ray Argyle during the late summer of 2006 in Los Angeles. Discovering the compatibility of Ray’s melodic vocal style with Chris’ artful guitar work, the two set out with the ambitious task of collaborating on material which used classic progressions and pop-sensible melodies but combined them with rhythmic structures that were both driving and nuanced with shifting time signatures. After over a year of writing and recording at various Southern Californian studios, Archways finally completed their debut Album Lest We Forget. The album is 14 beautifully crafted songs that flow seamlessly with the cinematic sense of a visionary soundtrack. Dark and passionate, tracks like "New Low" and "Don't Be a Stranger" bring to mind the vocal crooning of artists like Morrissey and Jeff Buckley while others such as "Modern Myth" and "Jinx" have an undercurrent of complexity to the arrangements that is reminiscent of Radiohead. Layering the craft of the open hearted songwriter with technical sophistication, Archways has managed to combine elements of seemingly contradictory musical movements into its own original voice.



Argyle and Kordash are now working on an EP which should be completed in the summer of 2009. Look for Archways songs in upcoming Independent Films such as The Outside and the surfing documentary Gabriel Villaran: Out of My Head. Much more to come!
