Daft Punk is set to revolutionize dance floors and music playlists once again with the release of their innovative new album “Human After All”. The album is the follow-up to 2001’s “Discovery,” which sold 2.6 million copies around the world and spawned the smash hit “One More Time” The new album’s debut single will be the body-thumping, guitar-drenched “Robot Rock”; the video for the song will be directed Daft Punk themselves.
“Human After All” was recorded at Daft Punk’s home studio in Paris between September and November of 2004. Notoriously press-shy—and uniquely loath to have their photos taken for publication--the duo did have this to say to British music magazine NME in January 2003: "The way the music industry is at the moment is allowing us to experiment. If everything is formulaic and we can finance ourselves to work outside of that formula, then for us there are no rules. We're setting our own agenda."
Daft Punk strike out on their own singular path on “Human After All.” Creating some of the most assertive and uncompromising music of their career, Thomas and Guy Manuel have married emotion and technology in a way that perfectly mirrors the fast-paced and hard-hitting rhythms of our modern lives. Songs like “The Prime Time of Your Life,” “The Brainwasher,” and the title track are state-of-the-art aural soundscapes that take the exhilaration of techno and the beat-driven delirium of dance music to bold new heights. Daft Punk also portray another side to their music with the soulful and affecting romantic themes, “Make Love” and “Emotion.”
Pioneers of electronic music, Daft Punk have been astonishing the dance and pop worlds with their versatility and inventiveness since they first exploded onto the scene in 1997 with their debut “Homework,” which included the hits “Da Funk” and “Around the World,” and which sold more than 2 million copies worldwide. Daft Punk videos directed by the likes of Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry and anime legend Leiji Matsumoto have further enhanced the pair’s reputation for artistic daredevilry. Now, treading fearlessly into bold new territory with “Human After All,” Daft Punk continues to take music to the outer reaches of human possibility.
