2026 Repress Now entering the 10th year of a highly illustrious career that has seen the band grow in stature to become one of the most instantly recognizable names in music, Air (Nicolas Godin and JB Dunckel) return with their most seductive and accomplished album to date, full of the rich musical invention that their millions of fans worldwide have come to expect, and one that will forever cement their reputation as two of the most talented musicians of their generation. “Pocket Symphony” sees the band re-uniting with Grammy-winning producer Nigel Godrich and features collaborations with Jarvis Cocker (“One Hell Of A Party”) and Neil Hannon (“Somewhere Between Waking And Sleeping”). Twelve brand new Air songs that ooze the classic Air sound of swirling synths, crisp percussion, mellow charm and ethereal bliss, all with a far-Eastern twist courtesy of Nicolas Godin’s new found interest in Asian instrumentation, namely the Koto and the Shamisen, a 3-stringed instrument which is one of Japan’s most popular classical instruments. Working their way throughout the album as musical ricochets, these unearthly sounds add another motif to Air’s magnificent sonic architecture.
