Speaking on the origins of “Airwalkin’” Watson had the following to say: “This song is trying to capture the feeling of walking around my rural town with my Discman as a teenager, completely self-conscious about the way I look but completely feeling myself at the same time.” says Watson of the track. “3 and a half minutes of Boombox Rock inspired by Stevie Wonder, Dilla and Beck.” Of its accompanying video, he states: “I wanted to do something with Alex McClaren again. He’d worked on the claymation video for The Blue Marble off my last album, I love his stuff. I only had quite a vague idea that the clip could be a figure moving across a landscape in claymation, a vocoder robot-man initially, and Alex went next level with it’.”
