French lifestyle monthly Obsession Magazine has a full-scale interview with Daft Punk, with the band taking a rare, introspective look at their work in anticipation of Random Access Memories. With the album due out on May 21, the group sat with Joseph Ghosn and Olivier Wicker to talk heavy theory about the logic behind the album. Amongst other things discussed, ’The Robots’ explain their aim to revisit the music of the ’70s and ’80s, reappropriating disco, and psychedelic influences for modern times – which somewhat informs the album title. If a fluent French reader, enjoy the full article on Obsession‘s website, or read a well-translated English version on Castle Awesome.
