Architecture In Helsinki
Maybe You Can Owe Me
Label: Moshi Moshi Music Release Date: 20/06/2005
Architecture in Helsinki are about to spread their multi-instrumented love to the UK via the ever-growing Moshi Moshi empire.
Are from: Melbourne, land of Oz.
Members: Nine.
Sound like: Gerling trying to cover Broken Social Scene; the tweeness of The Magic Numbers having a go at The Arcade Fire; the lovechild of Brian Wilson’s drug-addled mind doing… oh, you get the picture.
It is really ‘b-side’ ’It’s 5!’ which shows this off. Far too happy for its own good, full of joyous yelps and a sudden ending after two minutes leaving you to think “what the bloody hell was that?” The answer of course is: 100% GREAT CHARMING POP. BUT WARNING: MAY CONTAIN NUTS.
