original description

Mer Du Japon is the second single to be taken from Pocket Symphony, Airs fourth studio album. Based on the choreography from Angelin Preljocaj, the video was directed by Guillaume de la Perriere and Luigi&Luigi. Its a gorgeous slice of pop electronica that Air do so well. The single is a brand new version, having been completely reworked with long time cohort Nigel Godrich. Remixes come courtesy of hot new kids on the block, The Teenagers, who recently remixed New Young Pony Club; and of Kris Menace who gives the song a solid club appeal. Formats will be download only. Nicolas describes the track as Haiku music. Jai perdu la raison dans la mer du Japon. I lost my mind in the sea of Japan. Just one simple line. Jean-Benoit adds When you go to Los Angeles or Japan there is something special in the air, and we wanted to capture this special Pacific touch. Its almost like a perfume. It sounds a little bit like a French band Taxi Girl, Mirwais first band. We were big fans of this band and there is a similar feel in the production. Pocket Symphony as an album is heavily inspired by Japan and its culture. Indeed Nicolas spent a year learning Far Eastern classical instruments the koto and shamisen, through an Okinawa master.
