AIIR is the eighth studio album from British funk band Sault, A sequel to their sixth album, AIR, the album was one of five initially released for free via digital distribution on 1 November 2022 (along with 11, Earth, Today & Tomorrow, and Untitled (God)).[2] The download was available for only five days via a password-encrypted link and made as an offering to God.[3] Four of the five (excluding Untitled (God)) were released on streaming music services on 12 November.[4]
Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Ali Shutler reviewed all five simultaneous releases by Sault and gave them a collective four out of five stars, noting that AIIR follows from the earlier Air that "conjures anxiety and paranoia through orchestral soundscapes".[2] In an overview of the best music of the week on All Songs Considered, NPR considers the five releases "as sonically diverse as they are ambitious in their breadth and scale".[5] Damien Morris of The Observer reviewed all five albums and scored them five stars, noting that "anyone can find their own five-star classic among these 56 songs" and summing up that "it’s clear that these albums are an act of supreme generosity, not indulgent superfluity".[6] Writing for Gigwise, Luke Winstanley called the collective releases "an absurd achievement" and scored this album eight out of 10, calling it "another sumptuous classical effort [following Air], essentially functioning as a sequel or companion piece [that] presents a more focused, leaner and less indulgent collection than its predecessor".[1]
