Daft Punk has broken up

(variety.com)

The eight-minute clip begins with a scene from the duo’s 2006 film “Electroma” that features the pair, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo — who for many years have concealed their features behind a robot concept — walking around the desert, wearing in their familiar space helmets and leather jackets. After a few moments, one of the members looks at the other, removes his jacket and reveals an energy pack on the back. The other touches a button on the pack. The first member walks away quickly, and then explodes.

The scene cuts to a sunset, or possibly a sunrise, as a choral version of the group’s song “Touch” plays.

End of an era. At least Daft Punk went out with a bang.
