Levis Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 If you're not the experimental open-minded type... you might be wasting your time here. I only came to know of this band via the folks I'm living with here who have a CD by them. Architecture in Helsinki is a Melbourne band that hails from MY suburb (woo!) and their sound can only be described as experimental (Wiki prefers to call it avant-garde, and that's perfectly fine too). Reason being that they're... not... exactly... conventional. They make use of instruments like the xylophone, glockenspiel, clarinet... perhaps a guitar or drums if they feel like it... and hand claps. I'm still in the learning stages meself, but give 'em a listen. They've toured with Death Cab For Cutie and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs among others. AND they have a really cool homepage And of course a MySpace and Last.fm page: http://www.myspace.com/aihmusic http://www.last.fm/user/Helsinkids/ Tracks To Try: Heart It Races One Heavy February (one-minute song with very, very nice (unofficial) videeo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I saw them live without having heard any of their songs (because I really wanted to see the opening band), and they were awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
