Air continue to master their collection of antique synths and instruments, merging hypnotic, sonorous melodies with their soft French voices to produce dream-inducing pop like no other. Their live shows boast spectacular light displays that complement their sound, engaging all the senses until the lights turn out. Around since 1995, the French duo’s big break came only three years later with the release of their debut album Moon Safari (1998), whose track ‘Sexy Boy’ became an international success. Since then, the band has released seven more studio albums and has ventured into the world of film, providing soundtracks for movies including Swagger (2016), and Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation (2003) and The Virgin Suicides (1999). The latter’s poignant visuals are enhanced by the orchestra-like compositions of the musical pair who, speaking to online publication Stereogum, described their contribution as the ‘musical spirit’ of the movie. The band’s most recent release is a double-disc greatest hits album and although fans may be disappointed that there is no new material to sink their teeth into, their Barcelona show will be a chance to hear some of their best work to date in the beautiful setting of the Jardins de Pedralbes.
