... for today at least. This has been a great year for new favourite bands: Arcade Fire, Dungen, White Magic and now comes Architecture In Helsinki. Multi-instrumentalists from Australia, their CD is called In Case We Die and proves that if XTC were the overriding influence of last year's new crop, this year it's Talking Heads (with a dash of Tom Tom Club thrown in). A friend of mine saw them live this week and was blown away. I was gutted to miss it (being in Montreux) but they've added another date next Thursday and the anticipation is already heady. The sound of summer surely, when we finally get our summer back.
