For whatever reason, the band Architecture in Helsinki (who aren't from Helsinki at all, but rather Australia) arranged for several specific bands to cover their song "Heart it Races" which will appear on a yet-to-be-released album. The three bands they chose are Dr. Dog, Hey Willpower, and the Soft Tigers. I won't pretend to know a whole lot about the latter two bands, or about Architecture in Helsinki for that matter, but I am a fan of my fellow Pennsylvanians Dr. Dog. And having begun to really appreciate their old-school rock sound on their latest LP We All Belong, I don't hesitate at all to say that their cover of "Heart it Races" is their studio high watermark. It sounds fresh and polished, without losing any of the retro charm of their previous recordings. Oh yeah, and it's catchy as hell too.
