Random Access Memories is a tribute album — a French electronic duo spending four years in studios across California, New York, and Paris to reconstruct the warmth of late-seventies and early-eighties American music. The result sits at the intersection of nostalgia and craft: music made with machines that insists on feeling human. If this resonates, you are drawn to work where the texture of an era is itself the subject.
About Random Access Memories
Random Access Memories is the fourth and final studio album by the French electronic music duo Daft Punk. It was released on 17 May 2013 through Columbia Records. The album pays tribute to late 1970s and early 1980s American music, particularly from Los Angeles. This theme is reflected in the packaging and promotional campaign, which included billboards, television advertisements and a web series. Recording sessions took place from 2008 to 2012 at Henson, Conway and Capitol Studios in California, Electric Lady Studios in New York City, and Gang Recording Studio in Paris, France.
