Following their 800,000 selling third album, “Talkie Walkie” (2004), French electronic duo, Air are set to return with their new album “Pocket Symphony” to be released by Astralwerks on the 5th March 2007.

The album, made up of 12 songs that were recorded over the last 18 months and produced by long time partner Nigel Godrich, features vocals by Dunckel and Godin themselves but also from Jarvis Cocker (Pulp) and Neil Hannon (Divine Comedy).

The new album reportedly features a variety of instruments, including a Japanese koto - similar to a harp - and a banjo-like shamisen, which is usually covered in the skin of a dog or cat! The artwork is by contemporary artist Xavier Veilhan.

Air will embark on a European tour from Mid March, which will be followed by shows in the US from Mid April to Mid May. They will play at major festivals both in Europe and Japan during the summer and then continue touring for the rest of 2007.

The tracklisting is as follows:
1. Space maker
2. Once upon a time
3. One Hell of a party
4. Napalm love
5. Mayfair song
6. Left bank
7. Photograph
8. Mer du Japon
9. Lost message
10. Somewhere between waking and sleeping
11. Redhead girl
12. Night sight
