Somewhere Between Waking and Sleeping
February 27, 2007
Sophia Copolla’s favorite band, the French dream pop duo Air are releasing a new album this year appropriately titled Pocket Symphony. The album mixes ambient and electronica textures with piano parts that range from otherworldly to stunning. The promo sheet for the album describes it well, “intellectually stimulating yet intuitively simple; elegiac and triumphal; beyond pop and yet resolutely of it, too.”
While Air is famous for keeping it simple with their music it’s in the extra details that I find the most joy in their music. The very short flute solo in “Once upon a time” or the way the acoustic guitar comes in during “Somewhere Between Waking And Sleeping” are some of the things that lift the songs past easy listening for me. The album will be released a week from today.
