Architecture In Helsinki...

...are a nifty Australian indie pop band that you should all listen to. Similar to Broken Social Scene.

Discuss.

I like them a lot, although my initial love for In Case We Die has worn off a bit.

I'm not too big on their studio work but they put on a really fun show when I saw them a year or two ago.

I really don't like their album at all.

Yeah, they're definitely fun live, in an awkward way.

I can't really see the Broken Social Scene thing either. Except they both have lots of band members, and a girl and boy singer.

I personally really enjoy Architecture in Helsinki. To me, a lot of indie music tends to sound pretty indistinct, Architecture in Helsinki is definately fairly unique. And zappa's review basically sums up exactly what i like about them.

my aim: NimrodsOtherSon if anyone is willing.
