Common knowledge that Architecture In Helsinki are an Aussie quirk-pop sextet, but who knew they were so trampy? The second vid for Places Like This comes from track three, which sets their “Give it to me baby”s and horn-y cartoon pop to synchronized, gravity-defying bouncing and colorful, parachute-y blouses. Looks like a good time, but it’s all fun and games ’til somebody gets stuck in the air.

    Anyone mirroring this? I can’t see the video from work, and need my AiH fix on this dreary day.

  6. Gap-toothed guy reminds me of John Malkovich a bit.

    Cameron Bird’s teeth are so fitting for his quirky character. anyway, this song really is genius.
