Also out on Moshi Moshi this week is a 7" by Architecture In Helsinki called Heart It Races. You couldn't possibly fail to be happy listening to this. It's a right ole chirpy few minutes with loads of percussion and steel drums and that. It sounds exactly like The Go Team crossed with MIA. I don't remember 'em sounding quite as good as this? I'd heartily recommend it. Though I would completely avoid the nightmarish mix by Bonde De Role on the flipside which is a complete mess. Oh Yes.Sets the pace for their forthcoming album, Places Like This (released August 13th). It could not be more removed from their previous album, In Case We Die (2005). Fizzing with electrical currents, channeling calypso rhythms and tropicalia flavours with lashings of percussion a-go-go, the new songs pack a kaleidoscopic punch that is little short of breathtaking. Pop effervescence hasn’t sounded this fresh in ages.
