Air have announced a 25th anniversary vinyl reissue of their classic debut album Moon Safari.
- ORDER NOW: Curtis Mayfield is on the cover of the latest issue of Uncut
- READ MORE: Air – 10 000 Hz Legend review
The French duo – comprised of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel – released their debut album in 1998.
After celebrating 20 years of its 2001 follow-up 10 000Hz Legend with a reissue in 2021, Moon Safari will now be reissued on vinyl via Vinyl Me Please to celebrate its 25th birthday.
The reissue will land on February 1 and be pressed on an exclusive 180gram “Sea of Tranquility” coloured vinyl.
It will feature lacquers cut by Marie Pieprrzownik alongside a Listening Notes article by Sophie Frances Kemp and an art print from Mike Mills.
The liner notes for the reissue say of the album: “It feels like a dream sequence. One moment you’re walking through a room drenched in pink light while dressed in a tuxedo, the next you’re diving into the neighbour’s pool butt-naked with your high school crush.
“It’s a mood you want to live inside of forever. It’s a revelation. It’s conversation pit music for a better future.”
