Air Is Human

Air is Human is Josh Aptner and Jeff Lucci; a duo from Philadelphia that has been cultivating a sound that balances explosive beats and emotive Rhodes piano arrangements with bold, heavy, and atmospheric guitar melodies. The music is focused and through-composed, but within the arrangements there is a looseness that allows the specifics to be improvisational. Blending influences from downtempo and ambient with kraut and psych rock, from groups like Boards of Canada to Talk Talk, the sound is loud and enveloping, yet still maintains a delicate and cinematic quality to it. The music aims to provoke each member of the audience to experience a uniquely personalized visual scene, or to compel a physical reaction: dance. The duo still think Nels Cline is kind of a weener.
