Dynamic duo Air have released their second single from the album Love 2. It’s “So Light Is Her Footfall.” The song is a standout track from their luscious ambient pop album and it’s a great continuation from “Sing Sang Sung.” There are other gems on there of course and we hope they make videos for a bunch before they move on to the next project.
Limited to just 300 copies worldwide, this beautifully presented and individually numbered box set has been crafted by The Vinyl Factory, working in close collaboration with the band themselves. By the way, we are loving Love 2 to bits.
Housed in a luxurious silver mirrored box with the Air logo debossed on the front, this stunning set includes:
A week ahead of it’s time and just in time to make up for the sham that is Zero 7′s Yeah Ghost, Love 2 makes the illegal blog rounds. You can download it now. Look it up here. Anyway, let’s hope it’s great.
This has got to be one of our favorite songs of the year. Not only did it reach the number one spot on our much-coveted chart, but it’s also the return of one of our favorite bands. “Sing Sang Sung” is a cheery chillout tune with a great chorus. It’s the lead-off single to Love 2, which will be out in a couple of weeks.
Love 2 is Air’s 7th full-length album. It is set for an October 2009 release and, girl, are we excited. Here at Loft965.com we are Air completists. There hasn’t been a single Air released that hasn’t aroused and titillated. The last album Pocket Symphony was genius from start to finish. This one is looking like it can attain the same levels with it’s lead single “Do The Joy,” which is available to download for free on their website if you subscribe to their newsletter.

Just when you thought the gentle gods of chill out have taken a long “unbend and unwind” they all gush out with new material. First, it was Royskopp. Then, Moby releases one of the best efforts of the year. Now, both Zero 7 and Air announce that they are releasing full lengthers this year. Air are also giving out a free track titled “Do They Joy,” which is obviously not that single because it’s really not that exciting. Sounds like an off-shoot from 10,000 Hz Legend that never made it onto Everybody Hertz. But, it’s just a buzz builder and I am sure there is sexier stuff on Love 2. Not quite sure if this is the album cover, it’s OK. Excited for all this new material. In fact, this is the third most anticipated release for me this year. Mariah, Whitney then Air. Then Zero 7. Unless Fiona Apple releases something, they will all go down one number.
