After 28 years, Daft Punk have announced they will be splitting up.
In an 8-minute long video shared to Youtube titled “Epilogue” – excerpted from their 2006 film Electroma – the duo, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, are seen walking around a desert donning their iconic helmets and leather jackets. There is a moment of symbolism when one of the masked members removes his leather jacket and replaces with an energy pack, which later explodes.
Their longtime publicists Kathryn Frazier also confirmed the breakup to Pitchfork, “but gave no reason for the breakup.” It’s also unknown whether they will continue to make music under separate projects.
