The robots gain a heart and soul - and self-destruct in the process

The French duo’s anti-utopian disco-rock record makes us question, are they robot, or are they human?

On their second album Discovery, Daft Punk fully lean into the artificial – singing through robotic vocoders that correspond with their now-iconic robot helmets.

On their first album, Homework, Daft Punk stretched the boundaries of electronic music and began wiring the circuits that would become their robot alter-egos, asking a fundamental question: where does the human end and the machine begin?
