Listen: Daft Punk - ”Random Access Memories”(Full LP) + Collaborators Series Paul Williams


Daft Punk's highly anticipated new album, Random Access Memories, is out in one week via Columbia. We have shared the first single “Get Lucky” along with videos under the Collaborators series project including Nile Rodgers, Pharrell, Giorgio Moroder, Todd Edwards, Panda Bear, Chilly Gonzales and DJ Falcon.

Now, you can finally hear the album itself, in full, streaming over on iTunes. (Go to Daft Punk's artist page on iTunes to hear it.) After the first listen I’m initially surprised to hear how mellow it is, ith the easy favorite being "Doin' It Right" what says you? Be sure to also check out the latest in the series of Collaborators videos below with the legendary Paul Williams who discusses his views on anonymity and fame amongst other things and who 's collaboration on R.A.M. track"Touch" is an album highlight .

Listen: Daft Punk - "Get Lucky"


More Daft Punk news and this time it’s in the form of an actual song! By now if you are a fan of the robotic duo you have heard and seen the teaser trailers for Random Access Memories tune “Get Lucky” featuring Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers. SONiC 102.9 — a rock music station from Edmonton — has shared the entire track albeit stating that it is not the official mix but that it “sounds pretty damn close.” We usually try not to highlight unfinished material but felt this time is was very close to the final product. Enjoy  courtesy of Dancing Astronaut.

UPDATE: 4-19-2013 Here is an audio of the official single.
