Released

The French duo’s debut Moon Safari uncannily melds languid instrumentals with a vintage feel (including “La femme d’argent” and “Talisman”) and sultry come-hithers (“Sexy Boy”) that feel movie-sized. Its release simultaneously spawned a legion of imitators attempting to reach the same staggering heights of chill and invited listeners to stay up all night talking with a friend over a bottle of something effervescent.
