Stereogum’s heroes take the minimalist route on the video for the first single from Pocket Symphony, playing through “Once Upon A Time”‘s sparse and spacey textures in a black room and with a shamisen playing geisha. The music is ripe for pillaging by indie film directors, and Godin and Dunckel handle the spinning stage beneath them with a look of sublimely disaffected cool. As always.
Pocket Symphony is out 3/6 on Astralwerks.

Pretty nice tune, but the song feels undercooked (like a lot of that new album, unfortunately).
Yep. Starts out with a sweet groove, and then doesn’t really go anywhere. I’ve always felt Air were good for atmosphere. I probably wouldn’t mind putting this on while reading & such.
These guys fuckin rule.
