Melbourne outfit Architecture in Helsinki might not be making waves in their homeland, but after some high profile support slots it’s a different story overseas. The six-piece has won over critics and the punters with gigs at South by South West and support slots for Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah and Death Cab for Cutie.
Their avant-garde brand of pop is brought to the live arena with an eclectic mix of instruments including a glockenspiel, some trumpets, and clapping hands. It’s these unusual combinations that have helped Architecture in Helsinki become cult favourites.
If all that makes you curious, why not catch them live? Architecture in Helsinki is currently touring Europe to support their new album, Places Like This. Then it’s off to the United States and Canada in October before heading back to Australia in November. Talk about busy!
