Since the release of »Moon Safari« in 1998, the French duo has been traversing the musical universe in a high, sweeping arc. In 2000, Air decided to pursue a completely different take on musical adventure and provided the soundtrack to Sofia Coppola's feature film The Virgin Suicides. Two years after 10,000 Hz Legend, Air return with a spine-tingling collection of cinematic pop songs called Talkie Walkie.
»Talkie Walkie« presents two musicians on a path that on the one hand shatters expectations and on the other hand fulfills the early promises. It's still the moving string arrangements (by Serge Gainsbourg arranger Michel Colombier), the otherworldly keyboard and percussion flourishes, and the imaginative guitar work that set Air apart. The big difference this time, however, lies in the absence of guest singers. For the first time, the two recorded all the vocal parts themselves.
