Air France

Swedish Balearic pop partnership Air France began releasing things in 2006, before disappearing off shortly thereafter to do things other than making music. The lazy, hazy languor that colours the band’s biog makes itself apparent, musically speaking, in AF’s latest single ‘It Feels Good To Be Around You’ (available free here), a wad of tissue-thin loops, effects and delicate vocal trimmings that delight in all the right places. The precursor to the pair’s forthcoming debut long player, the track owes mixing credits to Mancunian producer Star Slinger. Stream it below.

But now to something infinitely more sparklingly new from the Air France camp; that being a free-to-download mix meant to mark the seasonal swerve towards Autumn we’ve all surely noticed this week. Say the band: “It’s September, and it may be audible in the mix. It’s a beautiful month, but also a month of changes, both good and bad, you know?”. Oh, we know. Listen out in particular for the slowdown of Aaliyah’s ‘Rock The Boat’ in the mix, which can be picked up here courtesy of FACT Magazine.
