Our Take

In the sprawling landscape of modern music, where trends come and go faster than you can say "autotune", AIR have always been a beacon of consistency. The French duo, consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel, have been churning out dreamy electronic tunes since the late 90s, and their latest offering, "Talkie Walkie", is no exception.

From the moment you press play, you are whisked away on a sonic journey that feels like floating on a cloud made of synthesizers and soft whispers. Tracks like "Cherry Blossom Girl" and "Surfing on a Rocket" transport you to a world where the sun always shines and the basslines are as smooth as silk.

But don't be fooled by the laid-back vibes – there is a darker underbelly to this album that lurks beneath the surface. Songs like "Run" and "Biological" delve into themes of love, loss, and the inevitability of change, adding a layer of depth to what could easily be dismissed as just another chill-out record.

Overall, "Talkie Walkie" is a triumph of mood and melody, a sonic masterpiece that proves once again that AIR are not just a band – they are musical magicians, conjuring up spells of enchantment with every note. So sit back, relax, and let yourself be carried away by the ethereal sounds of AIR. You won't regret it.
