About the album

Eleven years after Moon Safari made "Sexy Boy" a worldwide hit, the Versailles duo built their own studio in northern Paris and went in with no one looking over their shoulder. Love 2 is the sound of two people enjoying the run of the place: "Do the Joy" bounces, "So Light Is Her Footfall" drifts, and "Sing Sang Sung" is about as cheerful as Air ever got, with Waronker's drums giving the whole album a looser, more live feel than the hushed records before it.

They launched it with a 24-hour worldwide listening party, track names hidden and fans' comments scrolling beside a live map of where everyone was listening. Now it's back with a fourth side of extras, and since this is Air, even the bonus material sounds like it's wearing a very nice coat.
