Architecture in Helsinki
Australian indie-pop collective Architecture in Helsinki already got stuck in our head with their album Moment Bends, released earlier this year, and now, they’re taking their dance-infused ’80s pop across the United States. Songwriter Cameron Bird says he was “obsessed” with popular music while writing the album and created a “record to get lost in. A record that always feels exactly what you are feeling.”
