With rubbery basslines,bright synths, and talk of "bubblegum", at first it could almost bean Annie song. Then there's a hook made up of voice-like beep-beeps, a bit ofheavy breathing, and staccato guitars fit for the Talking Heads.

A song that fully integrates personal drama intothe electronica framework (both in its lyrics and music), "That Beep"is hooky, powerful, and creative.

A ridiculouslyinfectious jerky party vibe somewhere between Talking Heads' juddering funk andearly B52s' stop-start pop. These aren't songs so much as anthemic Afro-popchants that would fill any dancefloor. 

Architecture in Helsinki preview their new album with "ThatBeep," a twee dance tune poised to set dance floors kind of alight. A bit ofPrince. A bit of Casio. A bit of Carly Simon.

Architecture in Helsinki is a joyous example of eclecticism atits best: Chunky funk grooves and lilting tropical rhythms enfold feverish poptunes as burping analog synths sound an enticing note of party-heartynostalgia.
