Architecture in Helsinki will release the high energy single “That Beep” on February 17 on Polyvinyl Records. The track, currently only accessible across digital platforms, will be available in a physical format on CD and 12″ inch. It features 4 remixes of the band’s new song, including two versions by the ghettopop production duo Radioclit, one of which features Marina Ribatski, formerly of Bonde do Role. Here’s the new video:
Architecture in Helsinki lead songwriter and co-vocalist Cameron Bird says of the track, “‘That Beep’ happened whilst jamming beat ideas on an MPC on a cold July night. I had a feeling about the bass line so I took it home on my personal stereo. The melody became increasingly clear to me as I rode down Ruckers Hill, (the steepest hill in my neighborhood) one night. As I reached top speed, this new idea blaring in my ears, I had a moment of synchronicity during which a cavalcade of melodies and words and crescendos came flooding in through my ears… I had imagined my first ever psychophysical song! So, we spent the next month making it, in car parks, above Thai restaurants and in solar-powered houses. It was the first song we made in 18 months, and whilst it may have arrived in a bolt of blue and yellow, it feels like home.”
The band is currently in the midst of Summer festival season in Australia, traveling across the country with the Laneway Festival.
