Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Those fine French folks that call themselves Air have offered their newest single, "Do the Joy," from their forthcoming album
Love 2(awesome title) on iTunes for free. All you have to do is go to the band's website at
www.aircheology.com, wait for the little animation and sign up for your free iTunes download code. What are you waiting for? Go download and be merry. I will offer some thoughts on the tune after the jump.
The song kicks off with some heavy rock guitars, a fun departure for the band, that bleed into a Halloween-esque, squiggly synth line. In comes the piano -- that soft, gentle touch of keys that made the band's album Moon Safari such a bastion of 60's era soft piano ballads splayed over songs about stars, sexy boys and making it easy.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
