Daft Punk has unveiled the Random Access Memories 10th Anniversary Edition, a celebratory expansion of their iconic, 5x Grammy-winning, and 2x Platinum last album. The new edition offers 35 minutes of unreleased music across nine tracks, including outtakes, demos, and songs from the original recording sessions. Among these previously unreleased tracks is “Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo),” a collaboration with Julian Casablancas that predates their RIAA Platinum-certified track “Instant Crush.” Casablancas describes the song as “lovely and bizarre,” featuring a “jazz modern” chord progression and “island summer vibes.”
A video for “Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo)” was premiered at an exclusive event at the Center Pompidou in Paris to mark the release. Directed by long-time Daft Punk collaborator Warren Fu, the video features a continuous, evolving walk cycle as an open metaphor. The animation was created by collaborating with three studios: Picnic Studios in London, H5 Studio in Paris, and Light Studios in Paris. Fu says the project is particularly dear to him, as it represents the final music video for Daft Punk.
