what happened to daft punk

Daft Punk, the French electronic dance duo, announced their split on February 22, 2021, after nearly three decades of anonymous music-making. The duo was known for their robot personas, which they assumed for public appearances, with helmets, outfits, and gloves to disguise their identities. Thomas Bangalter, one of the members of Daft Punk, has revealed that the reason behind the split was his increasing discomfort with the convergence of music and technology. Bangalter explained that Daft Punk was a project that blurred the line between reality and fiction with these robot characters, and it was a very important point for him and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo to not spoil the narrative while it was happening. Bangalter also stated that he loves technology as a tool but is somehow terrified of the nature of the relationship between the machines and ourselves. After the split, Bangalter announced his new solo orchestral album Mythologies.
