With Daft Punk opting for the ‘keep em guessing’ approach to promoting their new album – all we’ve had so far is the above artwork and a clip of new music in a TV ad – it’s been left to the online rumour mill to fill in the gaps about Random Access Memories.
Naturally some of these rumours have been wrong – so I am a little bit wary about the below list of collaborators, which has been ‘revealed’ by French site Konbini.
The guest list has a ring of truth about it, as it lists some of the collaborators we already knew about like Chic’s Nile Rodgers and Pharrell Williams. There’s also a few interesting inclusions, not least Strokes singer Julian Casablancas. Here’s the list in full:
