Artist Biography

Two major groups and several minor groups share the common name Air. Chronologically, the first major band was the jazz trio with its roots steeped in Chicago's Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), and was formed originally in 1971 or 1972; the second is the French band that formed in 1995. Out of deference to the popularity of the latter, its biography will precede the older band.

The French band Air is a duo consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel. They studied at Versailles (Lycée Jules Ferry) before forming the band in 1995. Their critically acclaimed first album Premiers Symptômes was followed by the release of Moon Safari, The Virgin Suicides (soundtrack), 10,000Hz Legend, and Talkie Walkie. In 2007, Air released the album Pocket Symphony.
