Paris, France-based Air returns to once again romance their listeners on their latest full-length Pocket Symphony. Whereas 2004’s Talkie Walkie was nearly all outerspace-like production work and angelic vocals, Symphony veers in the direction of eclecticism, adding classical Japanese instruments and sounds to the traditional ones. It certainly gives the duo’s music a more alien, yet no less appealing feel. Call it just another layer added to the ever-expanding arsenal Nicolas Godin and Jean Benoît Dunckel are stockpiling.

Pocket Symphony is out March 2, 2007 on Astralwerks.
