Review

Rolling Stone (p.66) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "PLACES LIKE THIS turns its sound-effect juxtapositions into sheepishly functional tunes."
Spin (p.122) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he band offer their richest, most eclectic accompaniment yet, with vibrant steel drums, syncopated acoustic strings, and resonant trumpet bleats."
Entertainment Weekly (p.67) - "[The album] leaps from synthy party jams to steel-drum rocking tropicalia..."
Uncut (p.81) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] brutally upbeat blend of Hot Chip pick 'n' mix and The B-52's' goofy chutzpah....Architect Cameron Bird's fanciful plans pay off..."
Alternative Press (p.170) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Architecture in Helsinki's greatest strength is their comfort; the comfort they feel in their own abilities, and the comfort you'll feel sitting down to listen."

Title Note

Architecture In Helsinki: Cameron Bird, Kellie Sutherland, Gus Franklin, Jamie Mildren, James Cecil, Sam Perry.

Additional personnel: Martin Pena (flute); Dale Packard (alto saxophone); Tim Stocker (baritone saxophone); Indra Adams (trumpet); Patrick Davis (steel pan); Lee Sargent (unknown instrument).

Recorded in a Brooklyn basement, Architecture in Helsinki's 2007 album, PLACES LIKE THIS sounds it like should've been created in a sunny clime such as southern California, the Caribbean, or even the group's native Australia. A giddy, celebratory outing, PLACES finds AIH mastermind Cameron Bird leading his ensemble through a set of largely upbeat tunes that reveal a kinship with experimental-leaning dance-pop, both past (the funky Talking Heads/Tom Tom Club-influenced "Hold Music") and present (the beat-driven "Heart It Races" recalls the Knife circa DEEP CUTS, with a little Jens Lekman thrown in for good measure). An assured, invigorated, and thoroughly fun record, PLACES is sure to be a party favorite for indie kids all around the globe.
