French reports increase speculation...
Speculation is increasing that Daft Punk are set to release their new single next month.
Little wonder Daft Punk are shy of the internet. When the French group returned with their third album 'Human After All' the record leaked online, sparking a backlash against their new sound before the music was even legally available.
Yet everything the band does becomes BIG NEWS online. Fans are desperate for new material, and reports in French magazine Tsugi seem to be the answer to their prayers.
The magazine reports that Daft Punk are set to release a new single next month - the track title is ‘Renoma Street’ and seemingly refers to a Parisian cafe. Pushed for more details on Twitter, the editor caved in and said: "21/7".
FACT then stepped in, asking for more information. The British imprint claim to have received an email stating “the answer will be on the next issue”.
So far: quick straight forward. However it would be an enormous breach of decorum for a magazine editor in any country to leak a release date via Twitter, while reports are - as always - subject to translation.
As such, until we receive a genuine bona fide press release hand delivered by Daft Punk (in full robot costume) we reserve the right to remain sceptical.
