The Archer is the second studio album by American musician Alexandra Savior. It was released on January 10, 2020 through 30th Century Records.[7]
After releasing her debut studio album, Belladonna of Sadness, demos of The Archer would be rejected by Columbia Records. The album was, in fact, finished in December 2018[8] but she would soon be dropped by both Columbia and her manager, believing she would never be able to play music again.[9] She moved back to her hometown of Portland and resumed her education, but her friend Danger Mouse offered her a deal and signed her to 30th Century Records.[10]
The album was produced by Sam Cohen, a Texas-based producer, and recorded at Dumbo, Brooklyn.[11] Unlike her debut album, she wrote all the lyrics and guitar parts for the album. Her collaboration with Alex Turner caused many misconceptions about her musical direction on the public eye, but with her second album, she took full control.[9][12]
The track that gave its name to the album, The Archer, was written as a gift for her then-boyfriend, and the music video was directed by herself and artist Alexandria Saleem in 2017.[13]
Promotion
Her lead single, "Crying All The Time" was released on June 13, 2019.[7] The music video was directed by Joseph Bird.
Three more singles, "Saving Grace", "The Archer" and "Howl", were released before the album.
