	* Dusted Reviews - Architecture in Helsinki *
		Far from the symphonic bombast of, say, the Polyphonic Spree, Architecture in Helsinki favors a lighter, more lo-fi sound; the elements of the orchestra may be in place, but they’re used in a decidedly idiosyncratic fashion.
		Architecture in Helsinki take the risk of a sloppier, more spontaneous approach, which leaves their more conventional material — the sort usually dependent on clarity and punch — dead in the water.
		Architecture in Helsinki are at their best when they abandon pop norms for more experimental territory; unfortunately Fingers Crossed contains much too little in the way of experimentation to save it from chronic dullness.

	Architecture in Helsinki - PopMatters Concert Review
		Cameron Bird, Architecture in Helsinki's main vocalist, announced mid-concert that there was a contingent of high school seniors who had foregone their senior prom to come to the show.
		Architecture in Helsinki -- an eight-piece Australian chamber-pop group whose multi-instrumentalist members hop hyperactively between trombones, recorders, drums, keyboards and French horns -- makes music for the ADD generation.
		In person, Architecture in Helsinki subverts preconceptions about their music, offering new insight into their work: Bird, whose voice on record is a fragile, cracking tenor (justifying the 'twee' label the band gets saddled with), looks more pugilistic -- like Archie from the comics -- with a crazy, multi-colored trucker hat and boundless energy.

	Architecture in Helsinki: In Case We Die - PopMatters Music Review
		Early in the morning, while beginning the hour-long drive to my 8-5 job, hearing Architecture in Helsinki's "The Owls Go" play on the usually dull college radio station was enough to change the color of my day completely.

		On In Case We Die Architecture in Helsinki are also using their music to gently demolish the dividing line between childhood and adulthood.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Architecture in Helsinki: Fingers Crossed
		Like Broken Social Scene, Architecture in Helsinki aren't so much a pop band as they are a pop community.
		Architecture in Helsinki are eight men and women who join hands, hearts and a ridiculous number of instruments (thirty-one were used in recording this album!) to create overpoweringly melodic music that reflects a deep sense of joy and fraternal love.
		Even in their most somber moments, Architecture in Helsinki are all smiles; a woeful lyric or two isn't enough to detract from the celebratory spirit that arises from collaborating with a roomful of friends to make beautiful, stirring music.

	Amazon.ca: Fingers Crossed: Music: Architecture in Helsinki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Though the music is always honey sweet, Architecture in Helsinki shows a lot of range on this album.
		Architecture in Helsinki are pop geniuses and more, delivering syrupy intellectual fulfillment.
		Toning down the twee-ness of the vocals and constructing songs around tighter melodies, tracks like 'Fumble', 'Kindling', and the album's glorious climax, 'City Calm Down', indicate that Architecture in Helsinki are a promising fresh face in a genre often faulted for its tendency to mine past trends for ideas.

		Contemporary Helsinki is anything but a sleepy small town as one might know it from the films of Aki Kaurismaki.
		Along the Helsinki bay, which freezes during cold winters, an entire city quarter has been constructed in recent years, combining the urban experience with public areas along the waterfront.
		Pia Ilonen, one of the initiators, who worked out a concept for a renovation with minimal intervention, is still proud that the Kaapeli has kept the atmosphere of an industrial giant where artists, designers, radio stations, theaters, and museums develop their creativity without restraints.

	Boston's Weekly Dig: Music: Architecture in Helsinki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The unfolding of spring seems the natural time for Australian octet Architecture in Helsinki to release their debut full-length and embark on their first US tour.
		Their lush blend of infectious pop pairs electronic elements with full instrumentation, making use not only of traditional guitar, bass and drums, but also glockenspiel, melodica, recorder, horns, the voices of children and plenty of handclaps.
		AIH recorded Fingers Crossed over the past two years in diverse locales, such as beach houses, hallways, bedrooms and a church, and the result is a pop album of subtle differences that will break your heart and later mend it, sometimes over the course of one three-minute song.

	SFist: Review: Architecture In Helsinki
		Thus it was with Architecture on Helsinki on Tuesday night.
		AIH still plays the same quirky, continual instrument rotating, 8 person, pop lineup that drew us to them in the first place.
		In addition to all the standard AIH favorites, they also got audience members to sing the Austrian national anthem (no, it's NOT Eidelweiss) and "Home Means Nevada", which is probably the best state song in the union.

		Armed with more ideas than should probably be legal, Architecture in Helsinki can't be bothered to dwell for too long on any one of them, and it's this fickle nature that will make you either adore them or deplore them.
		Architecture in Helsinki delivers complex, dynamic composition and arrangement in a package that, while not universally digestible, is entertaining for all.

		Continuing the great run of gigs in Dublin recently, this weekend saw Dublin host Architecture in Helsinki, DJ /Rupture and Final Fantasy.
		Whatever was in the air last night, I was sure there was a LOT of interest in Architecture in Helsinki.
		There was a sweet and sentimental end to their set as guitarist and singer, Chris dedicated the last song to his mother, who had joined her son from the US and was in the venue last night and the screen behind the band flashed up a “Happy Mothers Day” message.

	Tiny Mix Tapes: Architecture in Helsinki
		I don't know whether Architecture in Helsinki is for real or an ironic parody of the post-Arcade Fire indie rock scene.
		A Melbourne eight-piece with a pretentious name and a penchant for cute pop Architecture in Helsinki have completely and utterly "made with the handclaps" on their debut album.
		For example, in the hands of a lesser band "The Owls Go" would be a jumbling, chaotic mess, but instead the eight members of Architecture in Helsinki manage to weave electronic blips and whistles, various horns, call-and-response vocals in and out (and under and over) what is otherwise a simple acoustic power-pop jingle.

	Architecture in Helsinki MP3 Downloads - Architecture in Helsinki Music Downloads - Architecture in Helsinki Music ...
		Architecture in Helsinki's debut, Fingers Crossed, introduces their very appealing collage of electronic and indie pop.
		Even though the band uses a wide array of sounds, ranging from bass recorder to a host of analog synths and samplers, Architecture in Helsinki have an admirably restrained hand with their sonic arsenal.
		Most of the album trades in charming pop miniatures like "Souvenirs," "Imaginary Ordinary," and "To and Fro," all of which are so quietly breezy that it would be easy to tune them out on the first few listens.

		Yesterday, I also learned what a melodica is. Here is AIH member playing said instrument, behind the shadow of tour mascot, Julio.
		The at least eight members seem just to be a bunch of friends having a good time, banging on cowbells, getting tangled in leaves, dancing with a pinata, and being versed in multiple instruments.

	Splendid: Features: Architecture in Helsinki
		Architecture in Helsinki, all eight of their touring band, start their shows in darkness, huddled on the floor.
		I spoke to AIH singer, songwriter, guitarist and tribal chief Cameron Bird about this strange juxtaposition, his roots in rural Australia, the challenges of touring with nine people, and the making of the band's second album.
		And I guess, the first Architecture show was six months or something after I'd started playing guitar.

		Isobel Knowles and Cameron Bird of Architecture in Helsinki
		Just watching Architecture in Helsinki set up their equipment was entertainment in its own right, from the untangling of hanging jungle vines to the emptying of a seemingly bottomless bags o' percussion -- tambourines, triangles, cow bells, bicycle horns -- used to supplement standard-issue hand claps, foot stomps, and ooh-la-las.
		If Architecture in Helsinki comes off a bit precious on their records, the band's raucous live show is loose enough to not be, with an ongoing game of musical microphones that had band members switching positions and instruments after every song, seemingly at random.

		Perhaps Architecture In Helsinki is often compared to the Fiery Furnaces because neither band fits easily into one category.
		Architecture is now officially one of my top five favorite bands.
