Daft Punk were a French electronic music duo formed in 1993. The group consisted of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. Prior to forming Daft Punk, the two musicians were part of the rock band Darlin', along with Laurent Brancowitz. After Brancowitz left to join Phoenix, Bangalter and de Homem-Christo came together to create their iconic sound as Daft Punk. On February 22, 2021, it was announced that they had disbanded for unknown reasons.
With their innovative approach to electronic music, Daft Punk became pioneers in the genre. They gained worldwide recognition for their unique blend of house, funk, and disco elements. Their breakthrough album "Homework" showcased their talent and established them as influential figures in the industry.
Throughout their career, Daft Punk released several critically acclaimed albums including "Discovery," "Human After All," and "Random Access Memories." They collaborated with various artists such as Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers, further expanding their musical reach.

While Daft Punk's second recording still focuses on the maximum accessibility that earned its debut such high marks, there's less of an obvious focus on pop hooks. Irony and house beats are the order of the day, and an eclectic thread runs throughout Discovery. "Digital Love" sounds like the theme to a '70s sitcom as realized by the Buggles. "Nightvision" is a mellow, wordless, Quiet storm-meets-Eno soundscape, while in an interpolation sure to gain plenty of attention, "Superheroes" marries a Barry Manilow sample to an unrelenting house beat. Ultimately, Discovery is less of a mission statement than its predecessor, but no less danceable or listenable.
