Like M83, they're taking the hidden melancholia of the '80s with shivering Morten Harket style vocals..and a collection of catchy hooks mix beautifully with the guitar work reminiscent of Modest Mouse and the Pixies.
With a Mercury Rev tinged rock sound (and shades of really early Idlewild too) expect anthemic choruses, and a fair degree of thrashing about.

The lyrics to Airship's song "Kids" seem to focus on nostalgia for a time when things were simpler and life was full of possibility. The opening lines "Remember what we all..." suggest that the singer is reminiscing with someone about the past, and perhaps expressing a desire to recapture some of the energy and joy of those earlier days. The repetition of the phrase "we had it all, we got it all" in the chorus reinforces this idea, suggesting that the singer feels a sense of longing for something they once had and are now missing.
The line "the laugh is such a dream" is particularly interesting – it seems to suggest that the happiness and laughter of the past now feels distant and unattainable, like a dream that can't quite be grasped. This sense of lost opportunity is further emphasized in the second verse, which references the idea of having all the time in the world when you're young, and the way that feeling fades as we get older.
Overall, the song seems to be a wistful reflection on the fleeting nature of youth and the longing we sometimes feel to recapture that sense of possibility and adventure.
