Daft Punk have plans to release a live album as soon as they have completed their current tour, according to reports. The revered, robot-obsessed Parisians have seemingly never been more popular than they are at the moment, with hipsters falling at their feet following a universal endorsement from the artists signed to cooler than thou label Ed Banger Records and the sampling of their track 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' on Kanye West's new single.
Part of the live album package will be a recording of the band's gig in Paris from June this year and a video directed by Michel Gondry's brother Oliver Gondry at a recent show in Brooklyn, New York. Speaking of the video bit, band member Thomas Bangalter told Rolling Stone: "We were inspired by the Beastie Boys' 'Awesome, I Fuckin' Shot That!' and tried to do that in a four-minute video".
The album is expected to be made available in both single and double disc form for those of you that get particularly fussy about such things.
