debuet des synthie-pop-duos um den air-musiker jean-benoit dunckel. mit seinem kollegen nicolas godin steht jean-benoit dunckel seit mitte der 90er-jahre dem wohl erfolgreichsten franzoesischen popexport vor: air. fŸr das projekt tomorrow s world tat sich dunckel mit der aus london stammenden sŠngerin und musikerin lou hayter (the new sins) zusammen. fŸr das selbst betitelte debŸtalbum schrieben beide gemeinsam die musik. die aufnahmen begannen 2010 in paris, nachdem duncker die englaenderin das erste mal gehoert und sofort zu sich eingeladen hatte.

darkel is the solo project of jean-benoît dunckel, who is also known as half of the french duo air. his first solo album came out in 2006, at the same time as charlotte gainsbourgs 5:55 album that he produced alongside with his acolyte from air. as well as participating to mythical soundtracks with air (virgin suicides, lost in translation, marie antoinette, quartier lointain, pioneer), jean-benoît composed the score of bee, je mappelle hmm, and also the quirky film cyprien but always in a very organic and solar electronic spirit.
