AIR have exceeded even their own high standards with the beauty of their latest album, Talkie Walkie, released this week.

Run could be their oddest yet most blissed-out moment to date with its quirky voices, jittery rhythms and washes of choirs.

And tracks like Mike Mills will deepen their already significant groove run in the history of European electronic music.

From start to finish, it's a masterpiece of taste and kookiness.

Looking more and like they belong in a fading photograph from the 1970s, the duo will take the music on to stages throughout the UK in February including dates in Birmingham Academy (Tues 10) and Brixton Academy (Wed 18).
