New Air Video - "Sing Sang Sung"

As promised, Air's video for "Sing Sang Sung" is just about the most animated you'll ever see Godin and Dunckel. The chilled out French men don't feature in it much outside of the open and close, though -- mostly we lose the duo inside a black ball of varying mass which ping-pongs through a Sonic The Hedgehog sorta world of mesmerizing, slowly morphing imagery. There are mushrooms that turn into jellyfish, taffy-pulled guitars, singing Air faces, and diamonds floating on water (yes, Air dip their ball in it), all of which synchronize nicely with the Love 2 single's breezy and bright, carefree-Cornelius come-ons. Watch it at YouTube.

Love 2 is out via Astralwerks.

So far I've heard two songs from their new album and both were a complete bore.

Highly enjoyable song/video. Excited for LOVE2, and I haven't been excited about Air since Moon Safari.

These new songs have been great. Both play to Air's strengths with their Moon Safari pop sensibility and their artier 10,000 Hertz Legend impulses. More importantly, this album seems poised to bounce Air back from the somewhat underwhelming Pocket Symphony.

Well, someone out there surely loves LocoRoco and a lot of platform videogames. Nice video.

This is Air's version of the Look Who's Talking sperm scene.
