Video: Architecture in Helsinki, ‘Escapee’

0

Australian eccentrics Architecture In Helsinki found a new label home (Modular) and a glossier sheen to their indie-pop for their fourth album, “Moment Bends,” which came out in May. They tinker with ’80s influences on “That Beep” (from their 2008 EP) and “Contact High,” and some of the bouncing bass lines will sound awfully familiar. Less obvious, though, is the brain-teasing video for “Escapee” which was directed by Marcus Soderlund, a Swede who has worked with The xx, Miike Snow and jj.
