Mirages II

Description

Jean-Benoît Dunckel of AIR & Jonathan Fitoussi have reunited to release Mirages II, a sonic exploration of analog synthesis, ranging from minimal to cinematic. "After their first duo album, released in 2019, JB and Jonathan come together to build a new work, where their two personalities unfold even more subtly, always in attentive listening to one another. At the heart of their music, an electronic spirit, anchored in a very mineral rhythm. One can detect echoes of the great German musicians of the 1970s, with their infallible metronome. One can also perceive the ghosts of Detroit's hypnotic machines. But above all, this album moves forward as if running slowly, its rhythms imposing a soothing and radiant cadence, in a sparkling harmony... These mirages, the second chapter under this name, reach their zenith." - J. Ghosn
