Drippy golden digital bliss, tripped out, quasi-mysterious little Göteborg, Sweden label, Sincerely Yours, pours a puddle of saturated beats ranging from giggly to drowned, with artists JJ, Air France, Jonas Game, Avner and Memory Cassette (co-release with Acephale), to name a few.Exploring highly recommended.From Africa to Malaga [mp3] - JJ this sunny little ditty with Lion King overtures is s..
Not sure if this is the official video for Air France 's sublime "Collapsing At Your Doorstep ," but based on the imagery remaining pretty consistent with other Sincerely Yours vids, I'm going to go with a firm "probably ." Either way, it's another chance to listen to one of the best songs of this year (if you're still not paying attention). Plus, I happen to find watching those wind turbine ge...
Having nothing to do with Air the French band or for that matter France in general or even planes the band Air France from Gothenburg might have put together the best record of this year with On the Way Down . Pitchfork compared the album to the Avalanches' Since I Left You and while thats a streach this record is certainly close. I've been playing it non stop for the last two days. Its impor...
Soaked in synth-heavy retrospect and enchanting rhythms, each sumptuous cut is a joy to consume. Billy Hamilton reviews one of the most exciting releases of 2008.

First up, Air France 's "Windmill Wedding ," with a typically ambiguous message attached, courtesy of Sincerely Yours :"no fantasy, no stupid escape. this is real life, this is you and me. this is re...
Who?Hailing from Gothenberg, Sweden, Air France are a duo that make dreamy, sample-based pop tunes that will make you feel both a sense of wonder and nostalgia. While they haven't released a proper full-length album, their No Way Down EP was so strong that it's even ending up on some critics' end-of-decade lists.And I Care Because?- That new Avalanches album might never come out. While we all ...
It's late here, and quiet. The year's off to a busy start, and the number crunching world my mundane self lives in wore me out.
