Daft Punk working on new album

May 28, 2008 11:03 a.m. by Nick Neyland
Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo have closed down the Daft Punk pyramid and are working on a new album. Australian website Inthemix snagged an interview with former Daft Punk manager Busy P, who talks about their tentative plans for a new album in this article. “The boys are in a studio in Paris at the moment,” he says. “And I can’t wait to listen to their new stuff! The good thing is that they are making music at the moment.”

Busy P doesn’t reveal anything about the direction the new material is taking, although transforming the jaw-dropping Daft Punk live sound into a studio environment is clearly going to take some time. “They are slow, you know,” he says “They are taking their time, and they have a right.” He also reveals that he has stopped managing Daft Punk, cutting short a relationship that lasted for 12 years so he can concentrate on his own Ed Banger record label.

We wan't something as funky as Homework and as mesmerising as Discovery!!!

I agree with Ian, the new album looks set for a march '09 release, but we'll hear nothing of it until mid-feb i reckon, Thomas & Guy-Manuel are prefectionists, as fans we all know this!!
They have never produced a bad track in my mind, with Human After All being the weakest of the release so far....
I just wan't to know what it will be called, and what it sounds like!! It's so exciting thinking about it now, i'm sure they'll overtake the small stranglehold Justice have on Paris as soon as they release this thanggg!!!
