It comes in waves of nausea and unease. The Air Force is a wraith, and wraith-like it moves according to genuine, human rhythms. It's a feverish and disturbing set of 11 songs but just the same, it's some of the group's most accessible. The songs drape themselves across their subjects in deformed electro tapestries. They play out like symphonies, but feelcompressed into the internal microcosm of an American bedroom... bedroom symphonies, bedroom confessions over chimesand gonging bells and industrial beats and buttery guitar leads that slide through the songs like a straight razor opening upskin. Like its predecessor, La Foret, The Air Force is elaborate, ornate, and bubbling over with noise. But even as sampled, cut 'n' paste fury assaults us mid-song, there's a sense of less-is-more, minimalism over excess; the lyrics can be haiku sparse, the backing to them is often as simple and barely-there as an android sigh.
Rezensionen
A. Woock in Musikexpress 11/06: "Ein mit unzähligen lieb- lichen Melodien angefülltes, in seinem tiefsten Zentrum von angenehmer Ruhe geprägtes Popalbum, das beständig mit neuen intelligenten Wendungen zu beeindrucken weiß."Disk 1 von 1 (CD)
