Architecture In Helsinki

In Case We Die

released 11/09/2005

"This sounds like The Polyphonic Spree drowning in serotonin in the hacienda toilets, only produced by Phil Spector and segued into a 40-second long Stephen Hawking harmonica solo. On rollerskates. On fucking Mars. Its daft and delightful" [NME]

"There are few records in 2005 as deliciously scatty and
life-affirming as this UK debut from Melbourne 8 piece AIH" [Time Out]

"This experimental eight-piece collective from Melbourne fall into the
same orch-pop bracket as Arcade Fire and sound like the Polyphonic
should have had they been any good in the first place. This is dreamy
whimsical pop with a superb hook". Independent on Saturday (single of
the week)

"A bewildering but beguiling experience........Pigeonhole this
motherfuckers" 4/5 [The Fly]

"A joyous rush of off-kilter pop and wild instrumentation" Metro
"A delightful scuffed bauble of day-glo plastic strung on a cheap
friendship bracelet. So excellent" [Plan B]
