Daft Punk hints at a new album?

Daft Punk is the undisputed face, or faces, of club music. They are truly pioneers of the way dance and club music has come to be today. One of the most bizarre things about this group however, is that they rarely reveal themselves. No one knows what kind of work Daft Punk is doing. Whether it be in their basement, studio, or perhaps outer space. Many people believe that the duo sit in an isolated space with blinking lights for hours at a time until music finds a way to enter their brain and then out into the MIDI boards and Synthesizers. Whatever they do, they leave no traces, no Tweets, Facebook posts, Instagram pics, nothing. Just the occasional tour dates. Pictured below is the iconic helmets that they wear for every single show.


Recently, the iconic dance/club music group daft Punk teased American audiences with a 10 second audio clip of what sounded like new recordings. It appeared as a commercial on an episode of Saturday Night Live, and left audiences all across America salivating with curiosity. Every Daft Punk fan knows that the last real 'studio' album that they did was "Human After all". However they have released 4 other albums, not entirely studio recorded. They did the "Alive 2007" album, which was a live recorded album. It was nothing short of amazing. They also released "Musique Vol. 1", which was a greatest hits album in a way. once again, Brilliant. Their most recent and probably most well known album in the US was the "Tron: Legacy" soundtrack. Their other album they released was a version of the Tron soundtrack that fellow electronica music makers had remixed. All of these albums were nothing short of an electric masterpiece. I pray to the Gods of dance music that this is the truth, and that this isn't just a rumor. I also hope that they plan on coming to America again before they "disappear", because they have only performed here one time in the USA in 2010.

  1. Oh awesome, I didn't hear about them coming out with a new album. I looked up that 15 second teaser video. That's really exciting! I like when artists do cool things with their fans like that.

  2. Iain--Your new entries are pretty good. You have interesting topics presented and pretty good development. You do have room for deeper analysis/discussion in some though. Pretty good visual appeal.
