Daft Punk are streaming their forthcoming new album, fourth so far, Random Access Memories, a full week ahead of its May 21st release. The 13-track effort is now streaming on iTunes. The follow-up to 2005′s Human After All, was produced by their own.
During the works on the album, started in 2008, Daft Punk recorded it in Paris, Los Angeles, and New York alongside of guest contributors, including Pharrell Williams, The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas, Giorgio Moroder, and Animal Collective’s Panda Bear as guest vocalists, Chic frontman Nile Rodgers on rhythm guitar, and “top-notch session players,” who previously recorded with Michael Jackson, Herbie Hancock, and Eric Clapton.
“We wanted to do what we used to do with machines and samplers but with people,” Thomas Bangalter explained to Rolling Stone. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo added: “The Seventies and the Eighties are the tastiest era for us… It’s not that we can’t make crazy futuristic sounding stuff, but we wanted to play with the past.”
