Pitchfork

A few weeks back, we presented the first single from Architecture in Helsinki's forthcoming album, Places Like This; now, here is the video. Directed by Kris Moyes-- who also helmed clips for fellow Australians Cut Copy, Wolfmother, and the Presets (Moyes' big bro Kim's band)-- the video finds the playful group in some sort of Muppets-meets-Mummenschanz mood. (I'd say "ask your parents," but YouTube makes that unnecessary.)

If you have something against moving pictures, we've also included a stream of the track, which our own Rob Mitchum rightly observes "avoid[s] the mid-song track-jumping of In Case We Die's fickle compositions...but the ensemble's fractured sensibilities remain[s]."

Bonus! The always thrilling and thoughtful DJ/rupture has crafted an excellent "Ital Hymn" remix of the track that features Mr. Lee G., who you might also know from Ghislain Poirier collabs such as "Dem Nah Like Me" and "They Wanna Know".
