Frankie Archer
Alternative. Eclectic. Ancient trad’s never sounded fresher.
Frankie Archer presents blistering nu-ancient trad bangers, telling tales and unfolding beliefs. Inspired in part by the medieval danse macabre. Touching on mortality, grief and love, she journeys through dreamy electronic to gnarly gristle and everything in between.
Her unique, fresh sound has pricked up the ears of fans and press. She’s featured in The Guardian, Bandcamp Best Of, Amazing Radio Tips for 2024, NME New Bangers.
Winner of the Christian Raphael Prize, Frankie has appeared at ‘Later… With Jools Holland’, BBC Proms, BBC Glastonbury coverage, BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour, and been championed by tastemakers at BBC Radio 2, 3 and 6Music.
She’s supported the likes of The Futureheads and The Last Dinner Party. With her unique tech-infused live set turning heads wherever she goes, from Glastonbury to the BBC Proms, Frankie is tearing things up in the alternative space.
