The Smashing Pumpkins aren’t the only ones to pay tribute to Georges Méliès’ silent short film Le Voyage Dans La Lune. French electronic duo Air take a bow to Méliès with their new album, its name the same as the film. Their first album since 2009’s Love 2, Le Voyage Dans La Lune will be released February 7th through Astralwerks, and feature guest lyrics and vocals from Beach House’s Victoria Legrand (on “Seven Stars”) and Au Revoir Simone (“Who Am I Now?”). The album will include a limited-edition version of the short film and Air’s original music score, from when they provided the score for an updated version of Méliès’ film at its 2011 Cannes Film Festival debut.
