This comprehensive box set compiles Archive's full Controlling Crowds series into one definitive collection. Controlling Crowds I-III (2009) explores themes of control and manipulation through tracks like "Bullets," "Collapse/Collide," and "Words on Signs," while Controlling Crowds IV (2009) wraps up the concept with tracks such as "The Empty Bottle," "Remove," and "Come On Get High." Alongside the complete albums, an additional bonus LP of unreleased tracks from the Controlling Crowds era provides a rare glimpse into Archive's creative exploration. The accompanying booklet, featuring exclusive and rare content, offers an even deeper look into Archive's most ambitious project.
