"It's very exciting to be back here, it's our first time in six years" says the band's singer, Cameron Bird. After cancelling their show at Stockholm indie fest Popaganda in August we were all very excited about the band's gig this night. Some fans called out for old songs but the band kindly refused and played most of the songs from their current album.

"Genre-smashing Australian indie-pop crew Architecture in Helsinki haven't released an album since 2007's Places Like This, but they'll return May 3, when new LP Moment Bends arrives via the triple-label hydra of Cooperative/Downtown/Modular in the U.S. (It arrives April 11 via V2/Cooperative in the UK and April 8 via Modular in Australia). The band spent two years recording the album in their own Melbourne studio Buckingham Palace. You can download the bleepy dance-pop track "Contact High" above. That's the Moment Bends cover art up there, too. In a press release, frontman Cameron Bird says, "Moment Bends was all about being at one with our ideas, obsessed with popular music and falling in love with our hometown. We wanted to build a record to get lost in, a record that always feels exactly what you are feeling." Sounds ambitious!" Pitchfork
