Inspired by Flying Saucer Attack, Spacemen 3, and The Jesus and Mary Chain, their music incorporated heavily delayed guitar and feedback, droning keyboards, and soft vocals. They released four albums, two EPs, and five 7"s singles.
Air Formation released their fourth and final album, Nothing to Wish For (Nothing to Lose), in March 2010. They split in April 2011.
In their career they played with artists like Nosferatu D2, Vessels, Chapterhouse and Efterklang.
In June 2011 it was announced that Matt Bartram and James Harrison had formed a new band named "You Walk Through Walls", with a debut release due in 2012.
Famous quotes containing the words air and/or formation:
“I date the end of the old republic and the birth of the empire to the invention, in the late thirties, of air conditioning. Before air conditioning, Washington was deserted from mid-June to September.... But after air conditioning and the Second World War arrived, more or less at the same time, Congress sits and sits while the presidents—or at least their staffs—never stop making mischief.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“I want you to consider this distinction as you go forward in life. Being male is not enough; being a man is a right to be earned and an honor to be cherished. I cannot tell you how to earn that right or deserve that honor. . . but I can tell you that the formation of your manhood must be a conscious act governed by the highest vision of the man you want to be.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
