Architecture in Helsinki Play Cyborg Scientists In Their New Video

It ’s been almost ten years since the first and only time I ever speak to Architecture in Helsinki . Iwas writing for the college newspaperand strain too hard to count cool . But they did n’t have to try at all . “ Why are you guys so fun ? ” I asked . “ We ’re from Australia , ” they replied .

It was like a time deflection when I saw their belated music video , “ Dream a Little Crazy . ” The lot up for the show I saw in Cambridge , Massachusetts , back in 2005 , can only be draw as a sound laboratory with instruments and target thread up all over the phase . They ’ve now upgrade their lab to conciliate all senses — wide - eyed and lab - coated , the player make masks and mix potions . They rake faces and pour paint . By the conclusion of the video recording , you ca n’t help but wonder if they ’re in reality doing real experiment .

That ’s when I realize how far this piddling dance band from Melbourne has come . A decennary ago , they were just a bunch of high free energy hipster from Australia banging on tidy sum and pans . Today , they ’re frantic scientist from the future .
