    These tracks employ a familiar strategy, piling up shambolic riffs and Belle and Sebastian murmurs until the homespun pitter-patter rolls like a wave and approximates hard-won beauty. [24 Mar 2005, p.79]

    For the most part, "In Case We Die" tries so hard to be fun it is almost no fun at all.

    Though straining at times under its rhapsodic pretensions, at its best it's an ambitious symphonic spree. [Oct 2005, p.100]

Its baffling really. Architecture's music is the kind of music I imagine in heaven. Even if it isn't universally accepted I would defend it to the death. Absolutely amazing (live experience is awesomest). "The be-the beat"… Full Review »
