Free download of the new Mirage song. And After Dark 2 (IDIB sampler) out this Friday!

“Let’s Kiss” was written the same week as “Under Your Spell” in November 2008. After a bizarre & beautiful twist of fate, I walked into a remote bar in Montreal where I met the love of my life. The next morning… Ida & I had to leave. We flew to France for a handful of sweaty club shows. On the train out of Paris, I realized my whole world had been permanently turned upside down. The rain was crashing against the windows… & I decided I wanted to make a record that felt like that moment frozen in time… “For Ever Ever”. That’s when After Dark 2 was born. The last five years have been a blur of art & parties. This record represents the people we’ve connected with along the way…in Moscow, in Mexico, in Barcelona, in London, in Portland, in Montreal, in Melbourne, in Houston, in Berlin, in Beijing, in Los Angeles, in Dublin, in Athens… I am so excited to finally be sharing it with you. In 20 minutes, Ida & I get on a plane to Warsaw for our first tour overseas with Chromatics. Even though she is on crutches thanks to a brutal Roller Derby pile up on Sunday… we can’t wait to see all of you again… it’s been way too long. After Dark 2 is out this Friday.

It’s 78 minutes & 16 seconds.

See you on the train!

rollingstone: Random Access Memories is full of WTF moments: Julian Casablancas delivering maybe the most emotive vocals of his career through a vocoder-style haze; dance godfather Giorgio Moroder waxing nostalgic on an electro-jazz-funk epic; pop-schmaltz guru Paul Williams (“We’ve Only Just Begun”) playing a love-starved cyborg in a disco fantasia. Then there’s the full package – a 70-minute­-plus, over-the-top concept LP of prog-rocking, reverse-engineered dance music orbiting somewhere between Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon and Earth, Wind and Fire’s That’s the Way of the World.

Some Early Thoughts on RANDOM ACCESS MEMORIES.

discopotential: First of all, the stream available from iTunes is only 192kbps. We’re not giving the record a full assessment until we can hear it loudly at 320kbps or directly from CD or vinyl. (We can tell because we are terrible people who are snobs about sound quality.)

Secondly, a lot of the commentary we’re seeing seems to be from people who expected Daft Punk to make an album that wasn’t this one, despite months of interviews and discussions where they specifically cited yacht rock and disco as the primary influences on Random Access Memories. Guys, they made the album they said they were going to make. If you expected Discovery II, you were going to be disappointed from the outset. We don’t really feel that badly for you, bro.

Finally (and related to the second item), we think the duo is more interested in songwriting and craft than making an entirely new sound. Maybe it’s because of the way dance culture works; as a “scene,” we’re always more responsive to something that’s a technical advancement versus a nicely-put-together example of the form.

Looks like a young Carla Bruni isn’t it?
