#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
