Air have shared an unreleased version of their track “Playground Love”, from a January 2000 broadcast on KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic” in Los Angeles. It comes from the 15th-anniversary reissue of Air’s score for Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides.
Thomas Mars of Phoenix co-wrote, sang, and played drums on the original studio version of “Playground Love”, under the pseudonym Gordon Tracks.
The Virgin Suicides – 15th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, out June 16 via Warner Bros. and Parlophone, features bonus tracks of album cuts from a 2000 live recording at Los Angeles’ American Legion Hall, as well as tracks from the January 2000 KCRW broadcast.
