UponFirstListen is a blog that does short music reviews.
In Case We Die is the title of Architecture in Helsinki's latest CD that's been appearing on many lists of favorites.

UponFirstListen's review of In Case We Die is twelve words: "Bunky done well or The Fiery Furnaces done poorly. Take your pick."

Speaking of Bunky, Mystery and Misery "found the album hard to listen to because whenever I played it, I just wanted to stop listening."

AiH put on a live show that rivals even reigning champs, The Arcade Fire. The sheer number of instruments in their employ is staggering. Their energy is remarkable, as well. When I saw them in Philadelphia, the room was about 400 degrees and they barely slowed their pace.

It's The Fiery Furnaces without all the Pynchon-esque erudition. Don't get me wrong, I like the Furnaces just fine, but sometimes it's just awful listening.
