...course nobody, not even Air, plays with this technological contrast without inviting comparison to Radiohead. On a gorgeously schizophrenic rendition of “People in the City,” Dunckel and Godin got in touch with their inner paranoid android, swinging wildly between rock stomp and tropical synth. But I suspect that their android is just suffering from a mild case of ennui, because Air is having way too much sex to endorse Radiohead’s apocalyptic prolepsis...
This hourly celebration of capitalism has struck a certain chord with the American public.
