Clouds Up

Air recorded the score for Sofia Coppola’s debut film The Virgin Suicides in 1999 in Paris, with the duo credited as the producer and recording engineer on the original release. “Clouds Up” appears as the second track on the album. The track was part of Air’s acclaimed 2000 score album for The Virgin Suicides, a release praised for capturing a lush, mid-1970s mood and for standing on its own as an album. It helped define the film’s dreamlike sound world and reinforced Air’s reputation beyond their studio albums. “Clouds Up” remains associated with one of Air’s most celebrated works, a soundtrack that has continued to be discussed as a landmark film score and one of the duo’s defining recordings. The album’s enduring reputation has kept the track in circulation among listeners of film music and Air’s broader catalog.
