As fans we’re all pretty jazzed at this point. After all the rumors, fake releases, and false advertisements, I assumed that the French duo composed of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter would never produce again. And as a duo that shaped my appreciation for dance music when I was a teenager, this was potentially heart-breaking. But with the official word from Columbia Records that Daft Punk have A). signed an exclusive deal with the label and B.) also plan to release their fifth studio album, Random Access Memories, later this year -- my 13 year old self broke out their 1997 album Homework and gave it a listen back from start to finish.
