She approaches music in a way that is both sensually pleasurable and exploratory; sonic experimentalism run through a ‘pop’ filter. The music is youthfully schizophrenic and searching, a voyage into the yet undefined territory of post-internet, re-spiritualized sound. GRIMES strongly values a physical and communal experience of music (it’s danceability), experimental vocalization, and psychedelia. GRIMES is self-indulgence, devastation and ecstasy. humanity, spirituality, escapism, identity, reality.

In 2010, AIR were asked to create a contemporary musical score for the classic 1902 silent film Le Voyage Dans La Lune by Georges Melies. The film was to be painstakingly restored from a lost copy found in 1993 and fully re-colorized. The producers of the restoration project were aiming to show the film at Cannes Film Festival in 2011 and were keen for new generations of film enthusiasts to enjoy Melies groundbreaking silent movie with the benefit of a brave new musical soundtrack. A huge honor for any French artist, AIR immediately went to work, and their resulting score provided fresh wonders to the restored film, which premiered at Cannes to unanimous acclaim. It was this score that prompted Air to take their ideas one step further and use the name and concept of the film as the basis for their sixth studio album.

Singer Amber Papini’s idiosyncratic songwriting coupled with the band’s rich arrangements on their self-titled debut explore youth, New York, and the bittersweet commingling of past and present in a way that feels just right, right now. Produced by Shane Stoneback (Vampire Weekend, Sleigh Bells), this self-titled album is recommended for fans of Camera Obscura and Twin Sister.
