Daft Punk Fourth Album

Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter are already working on what will be the fourth studio album by French duo, though, as usual, neither has confirmed. It was one of his associates, Nile Rodgers, who has predicted it will be a record "amazing." 

The release of the soundtrack for Tron: Legacy in late 2010 left a bad taste in mouth to fans of Daft Punk was a soundtrack to use and not one of the usual electronic work group. So, now over six years since the last studio album the duo (Human After All, 2005) and his followers have been waiting for a new job, which is rumored to inquire into the shed more R & B of Daft Punk. 

The latest news about coming to confirm these rumors, because the musician Nile Rodgers has confirmed that it is working at his home in New York with Homem-Christo and Bangalter in something that could be a new album of duets.

Rodgers is a legend of disco, R & B and funk. In the late 70's he formed the band Chic, which maintained its success even in the 80 and as a producer and songwriter has been involved in iconic albums like David Bowie Lets Dance or Madonna Like a Virgin. "These kids are great, come to my apartment on Monday and let's talk about making a new album together," explained Rodgers Culture Map Houston, in a statement that other media were quick to confirm. 

Naturally, in the interview they asked the man to go deeper. “It’s funny I’ve known Daft Punk for some time now but we were never really close – we never got a chance to hang out with each other, we would just meet in passing,” he happily continued. “So today was the first chance we had to spend hours and hours together and it was just so awesome. Every track they played I just ran across the room and got my guitar and started playing and we were all dancing around my dining room having the time of our lives. It was something that was meant to be. It was interesting how Thomas said to me: ‘It’s funny Nile, it’s like we’ve completed the circle’. We’ve always just met, just had a moment to talk and then finally today we just said, this is something that has to happen.  

“The best projects I’ve ever been involved in have always been like that: we vibe on an artistic level first – same thing happened with me and Bowie. Like Bowie, they can speak in abstract terms and I know exactly what they’re talking about. So it was funny, at one point I said, ‘You’ve been talking for two hours and you haven’t actually said exactly what you’re talking about, but I know what you mean.’ It’s all the nuances of music and who a person is as an artist, concepts, where that concept is now in the arch of life – all of that type of stuff, which is what I really understand.”

Thus, Consequence of Sound again asked the musician on the matter soon after. "We're just playing at home, but it will be serious and real. Came the other day at breakfast and it was at night, so I basically had to put out into the street," he said."We're having fun in an informal work we decided to make formal. It is VERY formal. Going to be amazing," says Rodgers, who only makes it clear that's going great moments with the French. 

But Neil isn't the only contributor to the disk, since in recent months the name Daft Punk has been linked with composer Paul Williams, the experimental musician Panda Bear (Animal Collective) and the Canadian musician Chilly Gonzales.
