Architecture In Helsinki – Places Like This

Another band pitching us a curveball are Architecture In Helsinki. On their third album the band has left Australia and scattered around the world, main man Cameron Bird landing in Brooklyn. Places Like This is a big departure from the previous album, but ultimately proves to be a bit messy and sounding like a collection of scrapings from the studio cutting room floors.It has it’s moments though, Heart It Races sounds like a chilled calypso version of MIA, Hold Music is good despite aping Talking Heads too closely, Like It Or Not is a fine calypso jig, while Debbie is the best thing, the song locking in to a Grandmaster Flash style groove.
Fair play to them for trying to branch out, however once the rediscover their own identity the magic will flood back.
