Architecture In Helsinki Back with That Beep

Those krazy kids from genre-juggling, funk-straddling, upwardly-mobile indie-pop monster Architecture in Helsinki have recently been back home in Melbourne, beavering away at a brand new sound. And the test results are back from the lab, in the form of "That Beep."

Issued as a stand-alone digital single —with an all-purpose web-hub as its home— "That Beep" is the Australians' most dancefloor-friendly moment in their ten-year career. Seemingly influenced by Metronomy's wonky electro-pop, AIH's shiny new single beeps out a sleek, slick, stripped-down, smoke-machine-smothered mix of chromed synths and muted guitar licks, with Kellie Sutherland's cutesy vocal pirouetting out front.

At the moment, "That Beep" equals the sum total of Architecture in Helsinki's brand-new output. The band are, however, promising that it's not some one-off, but rather the first taste of a thus-far-unrecorded fourth album, that AIH plan on unleashing at some point of the ought-nine.
