"When talking to people about what I've been doing recently, I've described it as 'unlearning'," says Iain Archer of the process leading up to his new album Flood the Tanks. "On this record I've wanted to pick apart what is assumed it means to be a singer songwriter, stripping it back until I felt I had reached bare bones. That's an exposing and an uncertain place to be, but I would rather be trying to connect on that level than running on acoustic auto-pilot".
