Back in 2020, the duo of Vertro Ubretl and Chri Milton who previously teamed up in the wildly underrated, Greed Island delivered a concise collection of engaging lo-fi pop on Archer (Tiny Room Records), their debut EP as Tiny Wine. The band recently released a video for the EP’s title track and according to Vertro it incorporates a concept that he had been sitting on for a while.

“Pretty soon after Tiny Wine put out our EP we sadly had to go on hiatus. This year everything aligned so we decided to start back up and be active again. With all that in mind we had the 3 year anniversary of the EP release and I had been sitting on this idea for a while and felt it could be a good way to bring some life back into the Archer EP.”

The Archer video has a decidedly vintage feel and like the has track itself posses something vaguely familiar yet completely exhilarating. On the surface it follows two masked people running amok in the woods, but Verto tells us there’s a bit more to it.

“I tried to incorporate a lot of little things from my life. We used my family camcorder I grew up with and went out to my old neighborhood woods I used to run around in to film. The mask concept is based off the idea that we can use masks to hide and feel more confident during times you can’t be yourself. It’s a pretty simple story of going to a familiar place and losing yourself to conquer . The band got some valuable assistance from Verto’s lovely wife Faye Butler, Tiny Wine’s Alex Keown and Cassie Brazeau.” – Vertro Ubretl
