Yes, you’ve read the headline correctly. According to Le Parisien, a well known French newspaper, Daft Punk are in the process of signing a new contract with Sony’s subsidiary, Columbia. The pair have left EMI for known reasons – at this time. Thanks to google chrome’s translate feature, I have this segments to share with you (in some what broken english):
Daft Punk is finalizing its contract with the label directly to the United States, for a worldwide release. Suffice to say that in France, they will be managed as international artists … coming from across the Atlantic. An approach that looks increasingly common for French musicians who radiate abroad.
This will be the duo’s fourth studio album, the first since ‘Human After All’ released back in 2005. They’ve done little since then, so this news will surely excite dance music fans across the globe. Is this too good to be true? I hope not!
