Debbie (Daytrotter Session) By Architecture In Helsinki

Fresh for 2008! Architecture In Helsinki!!



FYI: Four AiH tracks from Places Like This have received the Daytrotter treatment. My fav has got to be "Debbie" (insound mp3 of original version) which gets vocal distortions and what sounds like 8-bit farts to keep things interesting. "Heart It Races" (insound mp3 of original version) comes in a close second with it's focus on percussion and vocals.

Listen To The Daytrotter Session: "Debbie (Daytrotter Session)" (box.net mp3)
