Air
26 FEBRUARY 2010
AIR’s 1998 debut album "Moon Safari" is now an electro-pop classic. Since then AIR have enjoyed many career-defining
moments and accolades, both at home and abroad, and have written, produced and collaborated on a breathtaking array of music
projects.
The performance at the Roundhouse will be their first on these shores following the recent release of
their fifth studio album ‘Love 2’ that is being heralded as the duo’s best since the landmark album ‘Moon
Safari.
“One of the greatest musical partnerships of this decade” – The Times
“They remain the kings of electronic make-out music” – Mixmag
“Another beautiful, beguiling record” – Evening Standard
“The French duo’s best since ‘Moon Safari’” – Sunday Times Culture
“Cements their place as a kind of Franco-Kraftwerk” – The Independent
Nestled
in the leafy backstreets of northern Paris, AIR’s own studio Atlas provided a creative haven for the band to produce
the twelve new songs that feature on ‘Love 2’. Writing and producing entirely by themselves, they have cemented
their association with LA-based drummer/percussionist Joey Waronker (Beck, Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M.), who had previously
joined them for their intimate, three-man “Close Up” tour of south-east Asia in the autumn of 2008. Stéphane
“Alf” Briat, a long-time fixture of the Paris music scene, whose work with AIR dates back to some of their earliest
material, also came on board for the mixing process at Atlas.
