Daft Punk to sign with Sony for imminent new album

The French newspaper Le Parisien this morning reported that Daft Punk’s new album is only a few months away and that they have a “new home” in the Sony subsidiary, Columbia as they have moved away from previous label EMI.  This will be the groups fourth LP and as reported previous is to feature Chic frontman Nile Rodgers and also Italian producer Giorgio Moroder

“All I can say is those guys are geniuses,” Chic frontman Nile Rodgers said of working with the duo. “To think that after all these years we’ve been trying to get together, they just show up at my apartment in New York City and the vibe between us is so powerful and so strong – it’s unbelievable. Spiritually and artistically, working with them was as good as anything I’ve ever done. It’s as great as being in the studio with Bowie, it’s as great as being with Bernard Edwards and it’s as great as the best stuff I’ve ever done with Duran or Madonna.”
