Biography
They say: ”Originating from two cities north of Stockholm, Air France met up at high school. Reading situationist pamphlets and listening to pop music, they began printing a socialist school paper that, unread by their peers, were distributed at the underground clubs of Stockholm until the principal thwarted their scheme and changed the locks to the copying room. After graduating they fell in love with a pair of twins, packed their bags for Gothenburg and initiated the New Exotica movement, wildly unpopular amongst the jet set but hailed as revolutionary by dock workers and students alike.”
I am lazier so I say:
“Imagine the Avalanches, Axelrod and angels tackling Screamadelica. Sort of like a dream? No, better” Two young sailors from Gothenberg. The vodka kicking in. The sun setting.
Or maybe the memory of a summer that never actually was…
Recently remixed Taken By Trees and Au Revoir Simone, recent shows with Those Dancin Days, Leisure Society.
