"Up In The Air” Set For Global Release

LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS, the new album from THIRTY SECONDS
TO MARS, will be released on May 21 by Virgin Records. Written and recorded around
the world from Europe, to India, to the band’s studio in California, LOVE LUST FAITH
+ DREAMS was produced by Jared Leto with previous collaborator Steve Lillywhite (U2,
The Rolling Stones, Peter Gabriel) co-producing four of the twelve tracks. Jared says that
"this is more than an evolution, it’s a brand new beginning. Creatively, we’ve gone to an
entirely new place, which is exciting, unexpected, and incredibly inspiring.”
In partnership with NASA, THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS launched the first
single from the new album into space. Literally. The first copy of "Up In The Air” was
recently carried aboard the SpaceX cargo mission to the space station. The single gets
its ground breaking premiere today from the astronauts in orbit 230 miles above Earth.
THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS will be standing by at Mission Control Houston
while the track is played and will do a Q&A thereafter with Tom Marshburn, one of the
astronauts aboard the space station. Fans have been contributing questions for the chat,
which can be seen live today from 12:10 – 12:25 p.m. Central Time at www.vyrt.com and
http://www.nasa.gov/ntv.
Annise D. Parker, Mayor of the City of Houston, has proclaimed today THIRTY
SECONDS TO MARS Day. City Council Member James G. Rodriguez, District I will
present the proclamation to THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS prior to the band’s arrival at
NASA.
The single premieres on radio worldwide this morning. "Up In The Air” will be
available at all digital retailers worldwide beginning at midnight GMT on March 19. The
iTunes pre-order for LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS will launch simultaneously. Fans
who pre-order the album on iTunes will instantly receive a download of "Up In The Air.”
The album cover for LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS was revealed today on the
band’s social networks. It features "Isonicotinic Acid Ethyl Ester” (2010 – 2011) from
internationally renowned artist Damien Hirst’s Spot Paintings series. A second Hirst
work, which is from the Colour Charts series, will appear on the CD itself. See below for
further details regarding the art.
LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS is the band’s fourth studio record. It follows
This Is War, which was hailed as "an artistic triumph” by Alternative Press, "a shimmering
epic” by MTV.com, and contained the No. 1 Modern Rock radio hits "This Is War” and
"Kings and Queens.” During its two-year tour in support of This Is War, the band sold out
arenas around the globe, playing over 311 shows in nearly 60 countries on six continents
to three million people – and breaking the Guinness World Record® for the longest ever
concert tour by a rock band.
THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS – comprising Jared Leto, Shannon Leto and
Tomo Milicevic – has sold over five million albums worldwide and the band’s videos
have more than 300 million views on YouTube. The group has received numerous awards,
including a dozen MTV awards worldwide, a Billboard Music award and honors from
NME, Kerrang! and Fuse.
Artifact, a documentary about the band’s battle with its record label, has won the
People’s Choice documentary award at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, the
