In May, the anniversary will be 10 years old Random Access Memory, the fourth and final studio album by legendary duo Daft Punk. While the influential helmeted dance robots – born Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo – remained active for several more years, collaborating with artists such as The Weeknd, the pair broke up in 2021. blow up their robot personalities and pursue very different solo careers. That doesn’t mean they don’t have more to share.
Today is a new release to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Random Access Memory comes with another CD full of previously unreleased music. While this is very exciting for fans of French house music, some of the coolest anniversary content will be added the Daft Punk YouTube channelwhich is packed with retrospectives, behind-the-scenes videos, and a killer music video for “Infinity Repeating,” an unreleased demo the last thing Bangalter and de Homen-Christo recorded together as Daft Punk.
Written and directed by Warren Fu, the video is a collaboration of several eclectic animation studios working together to create a seamless depiction of forward motion, where a line becomes a circle and is animated to rotate, moving it up the evolutionary chain , to become more and more sophisticated depiction of advancing humanity.
It’s hypnotic melancholy at its best, the kind that springs to mind when you say Daft Punk worked to “bring emotion to the machines.” Bangalter told the New York Times in a recent interview promoting his new work as a composer.
Give him a watch or a dozen.
