Listen: Daft Punk Share Audio For New Single "Get Lucky"

French Electronica robot duo Daft Punk have finally shared the audio for their new single "Get Lucky".

Featuring Pharrell Williams and Chic bandleader Nile Rodgers, "Get Lucky" is the first cut taken from Daft Punk upcoming album 'Random Access Memories', which will be out on May 21st via Columbia Records..

A radio edit of the song can be purchased on iTunes. Stream it below.


In related news, it seems that Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories won’t come equipped with a video accompaniment, the robot duo recently told a French magazine there won't be any clip -at least for now.
“For now, there won’t be any clip. The record was made in a pretty old-school studio. We’re going to rediscover the spirit of the great spectacles of giant billboards on Sunset Boulevard for bands like Love, The Doors, Led Zeppelin. On certain TV shows, we might show 15 or 60 second spots. 
“Firstly, we don’t want to influence people’s ideas [of the music] with images. Second, most of the records we like and that are the source of inspiration for this record, those are pre-MTV albums. You’ve got the sleeve, lots of pictures and info, that’s all, and the absence of visuals around The Beatles doesn’t bother us, and in fact makes their music more accessible to us. ‘Thriller’ is the ultimate masterpiece. After that, it won’t be the same anymore, because of video clips. 
“Our vision is this - ’There you go. The record’s here. Listen to it, dive into it, and we’ll see after.’”
