JEAN-BENOIT DUNCKEL, JONATHAN FITOUSSI — Mirages II

AIR 's Jean-Benoît Dunckel & Jonathan Fitoussi have joined forces to release Mirages II, a sonic exploration of analogue synthesis, moving from the minimal to the cinematic."After their first album as a duo, released in 2019, JB & Jonathan have gone back together to build another work, in which their two personalities unfold even more surreptitiously, always very attentive to each other.At their heart, an electronic spirit, anchored to a very mineral rhythm.There are glimpses and echoes of the great German musicians of the 70s, with their infallible metronome.There are also ghosts of Detroit's hypnotic machines.Above all, this album moves forward as if it were running slowly, its rhythms giving a cadence that calms and radiates, in sparkling harmony...These mirages, second chapter of that name, are at their zenith."J.
