Air - Talkie Walkie
Air are back to making pop music. Here's 10 gorgeous, perfectly executed, lovingly produced songs that make a woozilly indulgent whole. It's 43 minutes- just right for a single listen - and crammed full of the most charming, comforting, blissful, seductive dream pop. They're playful again too. One minute cute and silly (one song has the whole tune whistled, another's called "Surfing On A Rocket" though J.B. sings "Wocket" in his sweetest franglais- and it's lovely!) the next all baroque with electronic 'harpsichords' and churchbell pianos (" Mike Mills"). The proggy portent of "10,000 Hertz" has been reduced to backdrop status, whilst the songs take centre stage in all their melodic glory. There's so many subtle delights in the mix and they still have that naive fascination with making retro electronics sound futuristic. It's nostalgic for the 70s yet intent on building a dream world for us right now. Second cloud on the right. All aboard!
