Moment Bends is the fourth studio album by Australian indie pop band Architecture in Helsinki. It was released in Australia on 8 April 2011 and in the United States on 3 May 2011.[1][2] The album was recorded in a rented studio in Melbourne, nicknamed "Buckingham Palace" after a photo mural of Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham the band hung on the wall.[3][4] The project had previously been given the working title Vision Revision. The first single released from the album was "Contact High", although "That Beep", which is included on the album, was released as an EP in 2008. The third single, "Escapee", is on the soundtrack for FIFA 12.

At the J Awards of 2011, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.[5]
