On “Touch,” an eight-minute opus featuring Paul Williams, the singer tries to “remember” touch and searches for something more to feel following the influx of anonymous EDM sifting across stereos, Daft Punk wants its fans to remember the simple moments that made them who they are today.įind Out How Daft Punk Conjured ‘Random Access Memories’

There are moments on “Random Access Memories” that try to innovate in the way that only Daft Punk knows how to do, but there are more moments like that time on “Doin’ It Right,” where Daft Punk dismiss all the artistic hullabaloo and just want to entertain again, after years of deciding not to do so.
“Everybody will be dancing and be feeling all right!” the French electronic duo coo as the bass snaps into place, and soon, Animal Collective singer Panda Bear leaps into the fray to declare, “If you lose your way tonight, that’s how you know the magic’s right!” These are lines that complement each other in their un-ironic absurdity: blindingly optimistic and staggeringly direct, the phrases overlap and cut into each other in the hopes of making any dead-eyed sourpuss to turn that frown upside down. There’s a point on “Doin’ It Right,” the penultimate track on Daft Punk’s “Random Access Memories,” where the album’s utter lack of post-modern ambitions smacks the listener in the face.
