Within A Western Circular lies an exciting and varied crew of guest artists including MF DOOM, Samuel T. Herring (Future Islands), Sudan Archives, and Laura Groves, all contributing vocals to Wilma Archer’s rich, dextrous compositions. Supple and multi-layered, honouring his acoustic heritage and influence, A Western Circular builds a sonic universe that commands contemporary references to everything from Frank Zappa to Yasuaki Shimuzu, Robert Wyatt to Arthur Russell.

Following the release of his debut record, A Western Circular, Wilma Archer and Crack Magazine are very happy to share a special live performance film. Recorded in early March at London’s prestigious Metropolis Studios and directed by Benjamin Brook, the film captures Wilma Archer Group performing a suite of two album tracks, opening with the titular “A Western Circular” sequencing into “Killing Crab”. The performance, written and arranged by Wilma Archer, is the first visual documentation of the specially curated Wilma Archer Group.
