ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

The Australian indie pop ensemble Architecture in Helsinki hails from Fitzroy, Melbourne, and counts multi-instrumentalists Cameron Bird, James Cecil, Gus Franklin, Isobel Knowles, Jamie Mildren, Sam Perry, Tara Shackell, and Kellie Sutherland among its ranks. The band's musical arsenal is even bigger than its roster, featuring instruments as diverse as analog synths and samplers, glockenspiel, tuba, clarinet, and recorder along with the more predictable drums, bass, and guitar. Architecture in Helsinki began playing in 2000, crafting a mix of {\i...[more]

 

 

#23 Seller of 2005! Stone says about them, "There are eight of them. And they make an orchestra's worth of sumptuous music, bently movening music (electronics, brass, xylophone, boy-angel vocals, enchanted schoolgirl chorals) that improves on the arctic mystery of Sigur Ros by adding the infectious thrust of the B-52's." Everything on In Case We Die, from the intensely sweet melodies and vocals to the widescreen production, delivers the kind of playful pop majesty that Fingers Crossed's best m   [ read more ]

'Architecture in Helsinki are slowly becoming Australia's finest indie pop band, and the band's new single, the disco-heavy 'That Beep,' is certainly a win. A song that fully integrates personal drama into the electronica framework (both in its lyrics and music), 'That Beep' is hooky, powerful, and creative. I'll certainly have it in my head for most of the day, and so will you.' - Ethan Stanislawski, Prefix

It was in the depths of Melbournian winter that the eight-piece band nestled into their clubhouse-cum-studio, Super Melody World, armed with a veritable junk shop of instruments and perhaps too many ideas. Thus, the recording process began. Songs hung in mid-air. Cats meowed into microphones. Plagues of mice were thwarted and way too much spaghetti was eaten. By the time the new year arrived, the studio had turned into a saloon. Some 40 odd humans had passed through it, among them many local musi   [ read more ]
