Architecture In Helsinki and The New EP


Boys and girls, sit down. This is story time.

Once upon a time, there were a troupe of travelers who were named after the architecture in an large Finnish city. Though these merry gadabouts were from Melbourne, Australia, were and nowhere near their likeness in Scandanavian Europe, they were known far in wide (in places like Scandanavian Europe!) for their wonderful songs, crazy and disparate instrumentation, and lately their wild party antics that were illustrated with their latest musical endeavour, the album Places Like This.


But as the parties spawned from the release of Places Like This slowly began to subside, our fair friends, Architecture In Helsinki, felt it was time to depart from their endless stream of happiness. AIH has announced that their last show in the United States for the next year will be the Coachella Festival, along with the countless other amazing artists (including Vampire Weekend, Minus the Bear, recently mentioned Holy Fuck, and fellow fake-named musicians (who coincidentally are from Scandanavia) I'm From Barcelona). Then it's back to the distant lands of Australia.


But Architecture In Helsinki won't leave those States which are United without a bang! AIH is releasing their last EP in connection to Places Like This very-very soon. Furthermore, they have posted brand new songs, remixes, and mash-ups of their own material on their Myspace mere days ago! These are eventful happenings you should endeavour to listen to. Head to their Myspace right about now! And don't forget to snag your tickets to Coachella 2008... if you can!




And this is totally just some post-script jargon, but if you didn't know, all of Voilà!'s featured artists this month will be foreign bands. But... as of this week, I have yet to write about an American band. Totally by accident. I just thought that was kinda neat.
