Air unveil official video for new track from forthcoming album

Air - La Voyage Dans La LuneFrench duo Air had announced last November the release of their 7th studio album entitled Le Voyage Dans La Lune.
Air were originally commissioned to compose an original soundtrack to the recently restored and colourised 1902 iconic silent film ‘Le Voyage Dans La Lune’ by French filmmaker George Méliès.

Le Voyage Dans La Lune which translates to A Trip To The Moon is an acclaimed film based on the popular novels ‘From the Earth to the Moon’ by Jules Verne and ‘The First Men In The Moon’ by H. G. Wells. The 16-minute film was the first to feature science fiction as a theme.

The soundtrack to the short film turned into a full length album and it will be out on February 6th in Europe and February 7th in the rest of the world via Astralwerks.

Le Voyage Dans La Lune features vocal collaborators Victoria Legrand of Beach House and Au Revoir Simone.

Seven Stars (featuring Victoria Legrand) was the first single to be released last December.

Air unveiled yesterday the official video for another new track entitled ‘Sonic Armada (A Trip To The Moon)’. It features clips from the restored and colourised film and you can watch it here.
