Sometimes I hear a voice in the back of my head pleading “Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no air?” Well, really it’s more like “no ay-uh,” but I digress.
The point is I can breathe again.
Hot off the heels of the announcement made by Zero 7 and their comeback to the ‘music scene’ with a new album, French dream-pop duo Air has announced their own return with Love 2, due out on October 6 from Astralwerks.
According to the Pitchfork rehash of the press release I didn’t get in my inbox:
On October 6, Astralwerks will release Love 2, the fifth studio album from the Paris duo. This will be the first album that Air recorded at their own Atlas Studio, which I have to imagine is the most luxurious recording studio on the planet. Jean-Benoit Dunckel and Nicolas Godin handle all the album’s vocals by themselves, and L.A. gun-for-hire drummer Joey Waronker sits in on the entire record.
“Do the Joy” will be available as a “viral single” on July 7, according to a press release. On August 25, they’ll drop the album’s first proper single, “Sing Sang Sung.”
This is excellent news, as I’m already wearing out Moby‘s new record for my sleepy time playlist.
