A Coachella Alphabet: Air

French band Air

Name: Air
Genre: Electronic
Day: Sunday

Wikipedia sez: “Air is a French music duo, consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel. Air’s debut EP, Premiers Symptômes, was followed by the critically acclaimed album Moon Safari, the re-release of Premiers Symptômes, The Virgin Suicides (soundtrack), 10,000Hz Legend, Everybody Hertz, and Talkie Walkie.”

A workmate and I were discussing Air vs The Shins today at work, and he basically wondered what it would be like to hear Air play live at a festival since it’s just elevator music. Sure, the music Godin and Dunckel make is quite breezy and could be classed as music for the chillout bunch, but the truth is that Air make brilliant music that you crave more and more of. “All I Need” off Moon Safari is an instant classic and their latest album is packed full of incredible tracks. Air previously played Coachella in 2004 as the sun set which would of been magic, and I imagine if they repeat this at Coachella 2007 festival goers will be in for something special.

Likelyhood of Seeing: Extremely - Not missing it for the world!
