After soundtracking the 1902 French sci-fi flick Le Voyage Dans La Lune as one half of Air last year, Jean-Benoît Dunckel has taken a break from his beloved day job to debut a new project. Teaming up with London-based singer Lou Hayter, he's started a new group called Tomorrow's World.

The duo have prepared a self-titled debut which sees them exploring cinematic, noirish pop. Lead single "So Long My Love" has its own video already, which can be streamed below.

In a press release, Dunckel explains that he first heard Hayter when she was performing with her solo project the New Sins. He asked her to come record a track with him in Paris, and they ended up creating a whole album.

Tomorrow's World will be available on April 9 via Naïve Records. A new video for the song "Drive" is on its way.
