Behind on your Daft Punk news? Here's the latest from this week.
Above is a video of YouTube user SinclairEoin performing a note-for-note attempt at Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, which helps you appreciate the fantastic soloing in the track. Great work.
The two latest collaborator videos (seen below) are from Chilly Gonzales and Panda Bear. Chilly goes into a discussion about musical theory, and how Daft Punk used his songwriting talents to help connect the chords of the album to create a bigger picture-- which shows just how in depth with songwriting the robots are trying to go. Panda Bear's video is less technical, but he instead talks a bit about what it's like to work with such a mysterious duo.
According to this French website, the next two singles will be "Lose Yourself to Dance" and "Instant Crush", featuring Pharrell and Julian Casablancas, respectively.
Word is also floating around that the record will be up for streaming a week before it's release.
Finally, the first reviews are starting to crop up, giving a better insight into what each track sounds like (NME, MixMag). Don't read this if you're looking for a full surprise of everything on the record-- here are the cliff notes. Giorgio Moroder's track has him speaking about his life to a click track, but apparently expands into an epic landscape of sounds. Todd Edward's track is described as a letdown by MixMag compared to his first collaboration, Face to Face. The Julian Casablancas and Panda Bear tracks supposedly sound a bit like each of their bands.
