NIA ARCHIVES SHARES NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO “UNFINISHED BUSINESS”

DEBUT ALBUM SILENCE IS LOUD OUT FRIDAY, APRIL 12TH

VIA HIJINXX/ISLAND RECORDS – PRE-ORDER ALBUM

(March 15, 2024) – Coming in hot off her latest collaboration with British artist Corbin Shaw on an exclusive merch piece (“CHEESE CHIPS N BLOODY GRAVY”) and her second record breaking Boiler Room hosted by Charity Shop Sue welcoming exclusively women, trans and non-binary ravers (the first ever for the platform), the unstoppable new-gen junglist Nia Archives has shared her latest single “Unfinished Business.”

A light and airy lyrical letter to herself about a lover preoccupied by their past, this track marks the third single from the forthcoming debut album Silence Is Loud. "Unfinished Business" joins recent tracks Crowded Roomz and Silence Is Loud to weave together the albums rich thematic tapestry around love, loneliness, the intense potential power of silence, relationships, family, navigating her 20s and more. To celebrate the release, she shares the official Rory Wood directed video that sees Nia front and center in a series of vignettes from a chip shop to a pub, a house party to a rave, breaking the fourth wall and emotionally pleading her feelings to the camera.

Nia Archives has learned the rules of her sound, and is unafraid to break them, pushing jungle and herself into new, unchartered territories. Due for release on April 12th via HIJINXX/Island Records, while full with the exquisite jungle sound she does so well, Nia Archives is also doing something different and looking to make music for beyond the rave. Working with Ethan P. Flynn (the songwriter and producer known for his work with FKA twigs and David Byrne), Nia is intent that Silence Is Loud is taken in as a full body of work of something “more song-focussed, putting interesting sounds on jungle.”

Fresh off the back of an 8-date Australia and New Zealand Tour, A Quintessentially Junglist Summer bangers “Off Wiv Ya Headz” and “Bad Gyalz”, a JD Sports Christmas advert alongside Central Cee and Kano, gracing the December cover of DJ Mag, a sold out 10,000 ticket “UP YA ARCHIVES” takeover at Warehouse Project, a remix of Fred Again’s “leavemealone”, and the most recent cover of The FACE Magazine, Nia Archives is set up for world domination, placing herself firmly in the lineage of British dance music greats.
