The electronic music duo of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo released their fourth studio album on May 21, 2013. Random Access Memories pays tribute to the music from the late 70s and early 80s. The only electronic instruments used on the album were drum machines, a modular synthesizer, and vintage vocoders. Daft Punk used live instrumentation in the recording studio on this album instead of the electronic instruments on this album.
Apart from their sound, the band is known for their use of disguises, especially the ornate robot costumes. Their live shows are elaborate, full of visual elements and effects. Daft Punk was formed in 1993 and reached the height of their popularity in the late in 1990s. Discography for the band includes Homework (1997), Discovery (2001), and Human After All (2005). They have also released two live albums, Alive 1997 and Alive 2007. In 2009, Daft Punk won Best Dance Recording for “Harder Better Faster Stronger” and Best Electronic/Dance Album for Alive 2007 at the Grammy Awards.
Since its release, Random Access Memories has already charted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 339,000 copies the first week. In addition, it debuted at #1 in Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia. The tracklisting includes:
