Our Take

Album Review: AIR - Moon Safari

Ah, AIR - the French electronic duo that sounds like they've been sipping champagne in a spaceship. Their debut album "Moon Safari" is a delightfully dreamy journey through the cosmos, with each track serving as a sonic spaceship transporting listeners to a world of lush synthscapes and ethereal vocals.

From the enchanting opener "La Femme d'Argent" to the spellbinding closer "Le Voyage de Penelope", AIR craft a universe filled with twinkling melodies, groovy basslines, and otherworldly textures. It's like being serenaded by robots on a chillwave beach party.

The standout track has to be "Sexy Boy", a funky disco-infused anthem that oozes with retro charm. It's impossible not to dance along to its infectious beat and cheeky lyrics - a perfect soundtrack for strutting down the streets of Paris in a shiny silver suit.

But it's not all fun and games on "Moon Safari". Tracks like "Talisman" and "All I Need" bring a sense of introspection and longing, adding depth to an otherwise whimsical album. It's a reminder that even in space, there's room for heartache and contemplation.

In conclusion, "Moon Safari" is a celestial masterpiece that captures the magic of French electronic music. It's like a space-age croissant - flaky, buttery, and oh so satisfying. So grab your spacesuit, dim the lights, and let AIR take you on a cosmic voyage you won't soon forget. Bon voyage!
