Promotion and release

On 22 February 2021, Daft Punk announced they had split. [3] Exactly two years later, on 22 February 2023, the duo announced a 10th anniversary edition of Random Access Memories would release, containing a bonus disc of demos and outtakes. [4] This was the second of several consecutive years the group announced a new release or celebratory event on the anniversary of their split, with the day eventually being referred to as "Daft Punk Day." A 25th anniversary release of their album Homework , including a newly compiled remix album, was announced on 22 February 2022, and a Twitch livestream of the duo's 2003 film Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem occurred on 22 February 2024. [5] [6]

Thomas Bangalter, during the promotion of his solo project Mythologies , said Daft Punk had wanted to not "spoil the narrative" while they were active, but felt more comfortable revealing parts of their creative process now that "the story has ended". [7]

The reissue includes the version of "Touch" used in the video announcing Daft Punk's disbandment. A Dolby Atmos version of the reissue was also released the same day as the reissue, featuring the original 13 album tracks and “The Writing of Fragments of Time” remixed in the format. [8]

The first single from the reissue, "The Writing of Fragments of Time", featuring Todd Edwards, was released on 22 March, along with a music video directed by Daft Punk's creative director, Cédric Hervet. [9] "GLBTM (Studio Outtakes)" was released on 20 April, featuring previously unused studio recordings by Chilly Gonzales and other session musicians for "Give Life Back to Music". [10] [11]

Another single, "Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo)", features Julian Casablancas and the Voidz. The song and an accompanying music video directed by Warren Fu premiered on 11 May at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, France. [12] [13] Casablancas discussed the song in interviews in 2014. [14] [15] The music video, the song, and the structuring of the bonus disc of the reissue are all based on an infinity loop. [16] Daft Punk called the track their "last song ever" in its press release. [17] A four-part video series focusing on the making of the music video was released in December. [18] [19]

The week before the reissue's release, coordinates and the date of 11 May 2023 appeared in Spotify visualizers for specific songs off the original album, teasing a global event happening in ten cities: Berlin, Buenos Aires, London, Mexico City, New York City, Paris, Santa Monica, São Paulo, Sydney, and Tokyo. [20] [21] Later that week, it was revealed that Snapchat had partnered with Daft Punk's creative team to promote the reissue using augmented reality filters and lenses. [22] Worldwide users could use the app to get early access to the track "Horizon", with attendees at the ten cities getting to participate in a geolocated scavenger hunt. Participants at the locations could use the Snapchat filter to find Monoliths playing snippets of the "Infinity Repeating" music video. [23] [24] [25]

The release of the reissue resulted in the album reappearing at the top of the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart and within the top 10 on the Billboard 200. [26] [27]

Memory Tapes

In promotion of the 10th anniversary reissue, the band released a video series throughout the year called Memory Tapes. [28] The series' guests include Julian Casablancas, Chilly Gonzales, Panda Bear, DJ Falcon, Todd Edwards, Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers, Paul Williams and Chris Caswell. [29] The videos were shot at Gang Studios in Paris and Henson Studios in Los Angeles and feature behind-the-scenes footage of the recording of Random Access Memories. [30] [31]

Made up of eight episodes, the series features many of the album's collaborators reflecting on the duo's status, music, and split. Julian Casablancas discusses the creation of "Instant Crush" and "Infinity Repeating," saying he thought the latter was a fitting song to "end Daft Punk on forever," while also joking that the idea was "dramatic," not believing the duo would stay permanently split. [32] [33] Chilly Gonzales called the duo's work on the album "Stanley Kubrick levels of planning" when discussing his piano solo on "Within." [34]

Collaborators DJ Falcon and Todd Edwards spoke on the duo's split as well, with Falcon specifically praising the choice to end Daft Punk with the song and video for "Infinity Repeating". [35] Edwards expressed regret that Daft Punk did not tour Random Access Memories, but stated he was not shocked when they split, saying the two "were already going in different directions, musically". [36] [37]

Pharrell Williams revealed in his episode that he did not expect the finished versions of "Get Lucky" or "Lose Yourself to Dance" to feature his vocals, assuming both songs would be sung by other artists. [38] Williams said he was so focused during the writing and recording sessions that he forgot what the material had sounded like, due to the length of time between meetings and the lack of access to the material. His episode contains footage of Williams' reaction to hearing both finished tracks for the first time. [39]

Nile Rodgers described the experience of working with the duo as life-changing, saying "life was one way before Random Access Memories, and completely different after." Rodgers called the album's impact a learning experience and spoke about how the album led to him collaborating with younger artists of different cultures. [40] The final episode of Memory Tapes features Chris Caswell and Paul Williams. The two discuss first meeting Daft Punk, the importance of Phantom of the Paradise to the duo's history, and end by thanking them for making an album that encourages listeners to "explore," stating "there's so much out there."
