Daft Punk’s final song together gets a great new music video

The 10th Anniversary of the launch of Random Access MemoriesDaft Punk’s fourth and last studio album. While the influential helmeted dance robots — born Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo — would remain active for several more years, collaborating with artists like The Weeknd, the pair disbanded in 2021, blowing up their robotic personas and pursuing very different solo careers. That doesn’t mean they don’t have more to share.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of Random Access Memories comes with another disc full of previously-unreleased music. While that’s plenty exciting for fans of French house music, some of the coolest anniversary content is being dropped on the Daft Punk YouTube channel, which is full of retrospectives, behind-the-scenes videos, and a killer music video for “Infinity Repeating,” an unreleased demo that is the last thing Bangalter and de Homen-Christo recorded together as Daft Punk.

The video was written and directed by Warren Fu. It is a collaboration of a variety of animation studios who work together to create a seamless illustration for forward movement. A line turns into a circle, and then is animated to rotate, progressing up the evolution chain until it becomes an increasingly complex rendering of human beings moving forward.

It’s top-tier hypnotic melancholy, the sort of thing that comes to mind when it’s said that Daft Punk worked to “infuse emotion in the machines,” as Bangalter told the New York Times in a recent interview promoting his new work as a composer.

It’s worth a few watches.
