Internet whisperings name 13 May as day of debut
Daft Punk have streamed new album, Random Access Memories, on iTunes in full. Click here to here the robotic duo's 2013 comeback.
Teaser adverts have appeared online in the past few days announcing the iTunes stream, but no date was announced - despite many sources naming 13 May as the date they would stream the album. The dance duo appeared on Zane Lowe's Radio One to discuss the new album, and Lowe played a number of new tracks from the album during the exclusive, 'in depth' chat.
Dance publication Mixmag initially suggested the 13 May stream in a news story on their website, while electronic blog HarderBloggerFaster shared an image of Pitchfork.com bearing the Daft Punk banner advert.

Random Access Memories is one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2013, but in a new interview with Dazed & Confused, the duo speak of their shock at the excitement over the new album.
"Right now my brain is shutting everything down, making me pretend that everything is normal," says Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo. "It still amazes me that everyone is so crazy about what we are doing. I’m like, either I am crazy or everybody’s crazy.
"Maybe I am just dreaming but people seem to really freak out at what we are doing. I don’t know why!"
