Daft Punk will release a drumless version of their 2013 album, Random Access Memories.
The 13-track album strips away all the percussive elements from the former French duo’s fourth and final full-length. Doing so brings out a timeless quality to the album, giving listeners the ability to dive deeper into the layers of each track.
It forms part of Random Access Memories‘ 10th anniversary celebrations, which began earlier this year with a bonus edition of the LP, with a series of bonus tracks that included “The Writing of Fragments of Time,” a kind of behind-the-scenes look at the song’s creation with collaborator Todd Edwards.
Daft Punk split up in 2021. Since then, Thomas Bangalter has shared his solo work, Mythologies, while Guy de Homem-Christo collaborated with Travis Scott on Utopia.
