Daft Punk: Electronic Music Is In Crisis
Electronic dance music is having “an identity crisis”, Daft Punk have declared. In their first interview to promote their new album “Random Access Memories,” due next month, the French duo claimed EDM “is in its comfort zone”. “It’s not moving one inch,” Thomas Bangalter complained. “That’s not what artists are supposed to do.” After months of teases and stunts, Daft Punk have finally started talking, revealing details of their fourth album in a conversation with Rolling Stone. Apparently the duo flew into California for the Coachella festival – not to perform but to sneak around backstage, anonymous without their robot suits, and to watch the world premiere of “Random Access Memories” new teaser, which screened for the Indio masses.
