Rabbit Loves : Architecture In Helsinki
9:44 PM Architecture in Helsinki is an avant-garde Australian musical ensemble, influenced by the twee pop aesthetic. The group, based in Fitzroy, Melbourne, consists of Cameron Bird, James Cecil, Gus Franklin, Jamie Mildren, Sam Perry, and Kellie Sutherland. Most of the band members can play multiple instruments. Their music makes use of a wide range of instruments, from more unique instruments such as analog synthesizers, samplers, the glockenspiel and handclaps; to concert band instruments like the trumpet, tuba, trombone, clarinet and recorder; and the more standard guitars, bass and drums. The band has been on multiple national and international tours. They have toured the United States with acts such as Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Kweller and Starlight Mints and opened for David Byrne, Bright Eyes, The Polyphonic Spree, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Belle & Sebastian. .......................

Vanishing SAVE THIS ALBUM nonsensical writing -- imagine a three-way between Fiery Furnaces, Arcade Fire and Belle & Sebastian. The result might sound something like the deceptively cute "Fingers Crossed." The intro "One Heavy February" errs on the side of twee, with catchy synths and lots of handclaps. Then it switches into the twinkly guitar pop of "Souvenirs," which sounds sweetly innocent at first. But listen more carefully to what Kellie Sutherland sings. "I've got souvenirs/but yesterday can't mean too much/have we missed an opportunity?" she sings sadly. "For what once was gold/ and once was rich/now is poor." That sound of poignant innocence permeates the entire album, over music so exuberant, warped and playful that it's enchanting. The general sound is that of guitar pop laid over thickly with keyboard, horns, and more handclaps. They also veer into childlike whimsy in songs like "Spring 2008," and a clarinet at the start of "Imaginary Ordinary." ....................... 2005 In Case We Die 1. Nevereverdid 2. It's 5! 3. Tiny Paintings 4. Wishbone 5. Maybe You Can Owe Me isten 6. Do The Whirlwind 7. In Case We Die (parts 1-4) 8. The Cemetary 9. Frenchy, I'm Faking 10. Need To Shout 11. Rendezvous: Potrero Hill 12. What's In Store? This free-ranging octet from Australia has brought forth their second album and it's a veritable funhouse adventure. Experimental, but gently so, their diverse instrumentation and varied approaches to vocal presentations (theatrical character voices, choirs, rock band exuberance) make for a listening experience akin to someone's perfectly cerebral mix tape. The opening song alone sets the stage for all that follows, constructed like an overture, one theme and setting gives way to another. Much like the parable of three blind men trying to describe an elephant, if three different listeners heard three different songs from this wonderful album, there still would be no complete description possible SAVE THIS ALBUM In Case We Die by Architecture in Helsinki ....................... 2007 Architecture In Helsinki - We Died They Remixed 1.
