A new Daft Punk book has been announced, aiming to give fans an insight into the robotic duo, their success and their epic live shows.

Sadly, the book will focus on their last tour (which took place over six years ago), and not on any new performances.

The book promises to go 'behind the masks', although given how secretive the French duo are about their human identities, we doubt it will lift the lid fully on Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel De Homem Christo. Penned by Dina Santorelli, the book is due for release on 21 January 2014. A press release for the book describes the book below:

"Take the trip with Daft Punk: A Trip Inside the Pyramid by Dina Santorelli, on sale Jan 21, 2014, to go behind the men, the music, and the mystique to see why Random Access Memories, the duo’s most recent May 2013 album release, debuted at #1 on the charts in over 97 countries, including Mexico, France, the UK, Japan, and Australia.

See why the duo, consisting of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, has been a global hit since the late 1990’s, and why their space-age look has become an iconic image for the millennial generation in this four-color book revealing the story of the men behind their masks.

Daft Punk’s robot helmets and overall space-age look has become iconic for the millennial generation. This gorgeous, full-color book will be the perfect companion for fans around the globe."
