My love for AIR started years and years ago when I heard “Playground Love” from The Virgin Suicides and ever since then AIR has always had a soft spot in my heart. They can do no wrong. When their single “Sing Sang Sung” hit the net, I immediately downloaded it and have listened to it on repeat ever since then. So yes, You can say I can be a little bias with them.
“So Light is Her FootFall” is the epitome of AIR. There’s the hushed vocals and angelic piano which we’ve heard before from them but the moody guitar is not only seductive but it cuts right through you and is probably what saves this track to stand out. The song could have easily been on Talkie Walkie or Moon Safari, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s not a great thing to say either.
If this is their 5th studio album, and “So Light is her FootFall” is already being known as a “highlight” of the album (Love 2 which is out October 6th as previously mentioned) it makes me think that we’re probably not going to get anything groundbreaking, experimental, or new with them. That, of course, is totally fine with me because AIR has always been known to lure me in and keep me within their trance and this track definitely sucks me in the way their previous albums did. I will take them as they are (beautiful, dreamy, and pure) and will wait for the new album before I make any assumptions.

I’m right there with you.
They do have that lure with 90% of there music. It’s like the moth to the flame.
I miss more songs with that voice, the creepy one.
This band sucks
Shut up Eli. This band plays with soul.
I LOVE THEM!!!!
fuck you noah this band is gay. soul huh? they hardly use any real instrument. how the fuck is there soul.
Sing sang sung is a great song. I can’t wait for the album. I know it will be good at the very least.
You can have soul without instrument! You dont need anything to have soul.
you sound like a girl, crying over soul. THATS NOT MUSIC ASSHOLE!
I just don’t get people who have to create big drama and controversy about any topic, no matter how big or small the issue is.
it’s low self-esteem, these people are just self-absorbed
I’m just defending myself and the band.
Whos Karina Moreno? She sounds sexy.
She likes good music too. Keep it up! I’ll like to hear more.
I think the creepy voice song is called run. That shits nuts when your high.
Karina sounds like a careless bitch.
