Architecture in Helsinki caught fire with their pop-infused 2003 debut, Fingers Crossed. And from then on, it appeared that the Australian band had found its lane by blending heavy '80s vibes, like those of the B-52's and other new-wave acts, with ample amounts of modern indie. But Architecture in Helsinki wanted to go a slightly different route with their fourth album, Moment Bends, which came nearly four years after their third, Places Like This. Moment Bends still boasts moments of caffeinated pop, but the group has become more mature over time, resulting in a more sophisticated, reflective sound.
