((Air France)) Band Profile and Upcoming Chicago Concerts - Oh My Rockness

Air France is a fantastical electro-pop duo (Joel Karlsson and Henrik Markstedt) from Sweden whose casually happy music demands lots of prancing. Put on Air France, plug in your headphones, and prance I tell you! Hold your prance-off preferably in a field of purple poppies. If a purple poppy field isn't handy, prance the midsummer away in any dark forest where the old oak trees are really kind wooden giants, and the green bushes aren't shrubbery at all, but are rather camouflaged hairy fairies.

Air France's sweet synth-pop melodies (with a tad of tropicalia) are just like a big bubble blown by a child that floats for just an instant before it's nudged by a light spring breeze into the atmosphere of a bright and cloudless day. Yes, it is just like that. Or, if you'd rather go the traditional simile-free route, Air France's music reminds me of a less melancholy Mum. Don't forget to prance to the music! Otherwise, you won't get it.
