In Case We Die
2005
Architecture in Helsinki is an Australian indie pop band which consists of Cameron Bird, Gus Franklin, Jamie Mildren, Sam Perry, and Kellie Sutherland. The band has released four studio albums: Fingers Crossed (2003), In Case We Die (2005), Places Like This (2007) and Moment Bends (2011). Architecture in Helsinki developed from a late 1990s group, the short-lived teenage funk-grunge outfit, The Pixel Mittens. That band had formed in Albury, New South Wales, by locals Cameron Bird (lead singer), Jamie Mildren and Sam Perry. By 1999, the trio had moved to the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy, where they used the name Architecture in Helsinki for Bird's first collection of self-penned songs. Bird got the new band's name after cutting up a newspaper and re-arranging words. They played a small number of gigs before going into hiatus. In 2000, while studying photography at art school, Bird met James Cecil, the two developed a musical connection and within months Cecil joined the band on drums. Around that time Bird took up guitar, he also met Kellie Sutherland at a party and invited her to play clarinet for the band.
