Daft Punk — the masked electronic music pair of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo that formed in the 1990s and which has put out some amazing music in the last couple of decades — is no more.
The influential duo whose albums included Discovery, Human After All and Random Access Memories released a cryptic but dramatic video on Monday entitled “Epilogue,” and it features footage of one of its members blowing up (!).
What did it mean? Per Variety, “The duo’s longtime publicist officially confirmed the split to Variety and declined to provide further details.”
What a way to go out. Here’s the video that went up on Monday:
