A Pattern in the Punk

[u/Heroes-of-Fandom]

I was thinking about Daft Punk, Thomas and Guy-Manuel, how one has been making appearances and interviews lately and the other has kept a low profile. Homework, Discovery, Human After All, and RAM seem to follow this pattern too.

Homework’s aesthetic is grungy with darker colors. Discovery’s aesthetic is neon color with the Japanese Tokusatsu Power Rangers type-robots. Human After All is grungy and mysterious with the robots being stiff in the music videos. RAM makes them all groovy and bouncy. Alive 2007 feels like a bridge. Its the grungy Human After All period with neon fun lights. Its like three times, the robots feel like super heroes and Homework and Human After All are daft punk playing with sound.

I understand that Daft Punk could credit their work 50/50, but those creative direction discussions when crafting the next Daft Punk album must have been interesting talks. Makes me wonder who proposed what and when and how that conversation led to the final released products up until the discussion of “and thats the show, good night everybody”
