Air

POCKET SYMPHONY
Astralwerks

Miles away from MOON SAFARI, Air continue their slightly retro pop crusade in earnest. With guest vocals from Jarvis Cocker and an appealing mix of acoustics and electronics, this album is like a poppier cousin to Bark Psychosis’ HEX and Talk Talk’s LAUGHING STOCK. Full of contradictions in mood and sound, and all the better for it, this is definitely required listening for any avant-pop fan.
