Architects are a technical band from Brighton that formed in 2004. Techincal music is a genre that focuses on complex rhythms, riffs and song structures. The end result is a fast paced % energetic sound. Architects currently have four music videos out, they have one from their bebut album "Nightmare" two from their second release "Ruin" and one from their latest album "Hollow crown" They have videos for the songs:
- In the dessert - Nightmares (2006) released through "In at the deep end records"
- Buried at sea - Ruin (2007) released through"United by fate records"
- Always - Ruin (2007) released through"United by fate records"
- Early grave - Hollow crown (2009) through "Century media records"
From viewing these videos the first thing I noticed is the narrative structure is extremely similar through the videos. The main two conventions of Architects narrative structure is that all videos begin with silence while the video plays. All of the videos .(except the first video "In the dessert" but this can be explained by a line up change that completely turned the band around & the fact that the new members produce all of the new videos), also have shots of the band playing the song and shots of some sort of story line. The stories in all three videos is never explicity explained & is extremely enigmatic.
