LastFM: Eles vêm de Melbourne, Austrália, e são muitos. Uma banda com oito pessoas no palco cantando em coro e utilizando desde instrumentos tradicionais até os mais inusitados como é o caso de uma furadeira. Architecture in Helsinki são os mais novos queridinhos do indie pop. Lançaram dois trabalhos, Fingers Crossed (Ber None, 2004) e o super elogiado In Case We die (Bar None) desse ano. A grande sacada do Architecture in Helsinki é misturar sons eletrônicos com rock, muito canto, gravar tudo em casa, num processo analógico, ou seja, bem lo-fi.

Showzinho que tivemos a oportunidade de presenciar no TIM do ano passado, mistura de Hip-Hop com samplers de techno/electro. Não apetece a priori mas, bela presença de palco dos negões, bons samplers, fiquei naquele dia de conferir com mais calma o som posteriormente mas, a cachaça na sequencia purgou a nota mental. Encontrei o link deles hoje, por aí, e já que aqui estamos pra experimentação mesmo, porque não?

Mas veja veja, com qual bela novidade me deparo, brand new album dessa bandinha, velha conhecida e bastante admirada por nosotros, ahh mas que bela tercinha por la noche… Porra:

Inspired by a mutual obsession with The Velvet Underground, ‘70s London and New York punk, they formed a duo called The Kills, rejected everything they’d begun to hate about being in a rock band, got themselves signed to Domino and made a spectacularly sexy garage-punk album called Keep On Your Mean Side in 2003. Buoyed by the deserved critical acclaim for this and their incendiary early live shows, but also nonplussed by the fact that they were, once again, in a proper band with a record deal, they made a completely different, yet equally spectacular second album in 2005 called No Wow. A minimalist pop masterpiece, it was one of those records that made some into Kills fans for life, but most utterly confused. “No Wow’s really special to me,” reckons a defiant Jamie. “I was listening to lots of Cabaret Voltaire and Suicide, and wanted to make something stripped-down, and was determined not to make another garage-rock record like the first album. We were trying to make a Suicide record. More like a commercial suicide record…”
