you may or may not know that moon safari by air is my favourite album of all time. it is the perfect album for absolutely anytime of the year. it’s an obvious choice for a summer’s day with it’s dreamy magical pop, but also try listening to it on a cold winter’s night. i remember having it on my ipod as i crossed the millennium bridge in a light rain. wow. i know this probably sounds ridiculously contrived, but it just made me feel like everything was good in the world.

anyway, the point of this post is two-fold. firstly to bring your attention to the short score the duo recently put together for some sort of campaign for cartier about love. secondly, to let you know that the new air album is out on 7 february next year. never a band to stick to the norm, this time they’re releasing an album inspired by a silent movie. brilliant. it’s going to be called le voyage dans la lune, which i think means something about travelling to the moon. i haven’t used google translate there, so it is no more than a guess though.
