Moon safari

On a certain summer afternoon, out on the porch, with a Pimm's in your mitt, you will love Air. But most of the time, they're meh. If you only ever heard Sexy boy, you might think that they specialise in excellent retro plodders, clever melanges of whatever they've grabbed from the past forty years of pop. But it's pretty much an outlier. The Daft Punkalike Kelly watch the stars also has some charm, but mostly their music is drifting noodling that you can pretty much take or leave. It does ooze talent, no doubt, and you could, if you were that way inclined, pick apart their songs and revel in how cleverly they've put them together from the elements of a cool record collection. But mostly I find myself nodding off. I am probably not the market for this though. It's really mood music for people who do not have moods.

So why do I have it? Well, it's not horrible. And sometimes you like to have drifting, slightly boring music on. Hey, we all have to do the ironing sometimes, right?
