Archeology heads out on a full U.S. tour!

2010 is the year of Archeology! On the successful heels of their debut album, Memorial, Archeology hits the road to bring their harmonious songs to the United States at large. Live, rooms are silenced when their voices join one another on stage. Their songs, seductively sparse, couple pop hooks with barren Americana for a sound that seems unearthed, dusted off and made anew. The band is available for interviews, photo shoots and in-studio performances, please do get in touch!

The press is digging Archeology!

"Memorial is an engaging collection of decidedly secular songs that fall somewhere between twee indie sing-alongs, campfire hymnals, and slices of rustic Americana." Filter

"Bringing influences from all ends of the spectrum, Archeology blends and bends many genres, birthing catchy yet complex songs, supported by sincere and emotional lyrics. This raw passion is seen in its fullest when Archeology performs live, an experience that music lovers, young and old alike, can appreciate." the Examiner

"The brainchild of Oregonian musicians Jason Davis and Daniel Walker,Archeology crafts harmonic, lush pop with a sharp lyrical edge. " Leigh Belz, Teen Vogue

"There is no shortage of harmonies here, as songs like "By the By" and "Hunter" won't overwhelm you with their barren structure, but come together naturally thanks to the duo's intertwined voices."
Ezra Ave Caraeff, Portland Mercury

"The band shines when they... show their fun side, like in the drum-heavy "White Walls" and the catchy "New San Salvador"."
Deanna Uutela, the Deli Magazine

"Minimalist folk roots and vocal harmonies that rival Fleet Foxes permeate the record. The quality of the work grows more and more apparent the more times you listen to it, until songs like the triumphant "White Walls" become irresistible."
Peter Kearns, Snob's Music

"This road trip pop jingle rolls down the window and lets the open air engulf your senses and as you breathe in soft and rolling rhythms the guitar will keep you wondering if he is going to strum some chords or pick out specific notes."
Andrew Duncan, Zaptown on "By the By"

"Having been compared to Death Cab for Cutie, the band evokes the same spirit and feeling as Band of Horses intermixed with hints of the Shins. Their easygoing notes and smooth voices slowly crescendo to form a bold surge of emotion." Oregon Music News

Watch the new video for Archeology's "White Walls" off of Memorial!

"If you’re not from Portland, this is probably the first time you’ve heard of the band, but I suspect it won’t be the last." Abbey Simmons, Sound On The Sound

"The band shines when they steer away from the dreary, though, and show their fun side, like in the drum-heavy “White Walls” and the catchy “New San Salvador.” Deeanna Uutela, the Deli Magazine

"Their backgrounds make for some predictably ripe lyrical territory: sins, faith, heaven and hell provide the ruminative fire behind the hand-claps and gentle instrumentation." Matt March, In Forty
