Record of the Week: Air France 'No Way Down'



Rewind. 26 May 2008, a new EP from that mysterious Swedish band called Air France was released as an electronic format over the internet through klicktrack. Two years before that they already had issued another EP that caught my attention 'On Trade Winds' and that is still available through emusic or iTunes. Of particular interest was a bizarre take on Lisa Stansfield 'Reel Around The World' retitled as 'Beach Party'. If you missed both these Eps or if you want to get them on a physical format, here is your chance as they are now compiled into a full album. To give you an idea about their sound I could try and compare them to Boards of Canada, Lemon Jelly and the Avalanches. But the best probably is to give a listen through MySpace.
