Five years after calling it quits in 2021, Daft Punk have shared a new video for Human After All, the title track from their third album, which landed in 2005.
The video – which has amassed three quarters of a million views in a day (at the time of writing) – features clips from the duo’s 2006 sci-fi film Electroma, edited by their creative director Cédric Hervet.
Premiering at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, Electroma followed the story of two robots who discover a town of robots located in California.
The film itself didn’t feature any Daft Punk music, and instead had a soundtrack comprising music by Curtis Mayfield, Todd Rundgren and Brian Eno.
The release of the new video certainly doesn’t mark an official comeback for the robots – real names Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo – but they have remained active in various ways since their disbandment in 2021.
Back in October, Thomas Bangalter made headlines by performing his first DJ set in 16 years alongside Fred again.. at Paris’s Centre Pompidou.
Also last year, the duo lent their likenesses – in robot form, at least – to the massive online game Fortnite, joining a laundry list of musical artists to have done so.
