About this album

EMI France (2007) Released: 19 Feb 2007 12 tracks (47:40)
Pocket Symphony is the fifth full-length album by French duo Air. The album was released in March 2007 and features collaborations with Jarvis Cocker and Neil Hannon. Pocket Symphony also incorporates some of the Japanese instruments Godin recently learned to play from an Okinawan master musician: the koto (also referred to as a Japanese floor harp) and the three-string, banjo-like shamisen. However, a press release claims that “conventional instruments continue to play a great role” in the duo’s music. The album features art by Xavier Veilhan.

The first single from this album, “Once Upon a Time”, can be heard on the group’s MySpace page.

Pocket Symphony debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 at number 40, with about 17,000 copies sold in its first week.

    I agree, I like this album, but it isn't their best, in my honest opinion. In particular songs, there is a beautiful level of instrumentation, however, that really works for their style of music.

  • Aleatoriedad

    It has some standout tracks, and it's a nice album, but overall, forgettable. Not my favorite from Air.

    Haters need to gtfo, this is a gorgeous melancholy album (that features a song with Jarvis Cocker, no less). Beauty like this is rare in music these days
