DAFT PUNK RETURNS TO COMPOSE FILM SCORE FOR NEW FILM ‘BLACK GLASSES’

The dance music legends of Daft Punk are returning to their craft to compose the film score for upcoming film, “Occhiali Neri” (aka “Black Glasses”) for Italian film director Dario Argento. In an interview with la Repubblica Argento reveals, “They are my admirers, they know all my cinema. They heard from French friends that I was shooting a new film and called me [to say], ‘We want to work with you.’”

“It will be my return to crime films,” says Argento. “It’s the adventure, in the nocturnal Rome, of a Chinese girl and child. In the second part, the escape takes them into the rocky, bushy countryside of Lazio. [It’s] different from the sweetness of the Tuscan valleys, but for me beautiful.”

This is Daft Punk’s first film score since their work on Tron: Legacy in 2010, which was nominated for Best Score Soundtrack Album for Visual Media at the 54th Grammys.

Daft Punk’s last album release was back in 2013 with “Random Access Memories” and have dropped a few remixes in the years since. Though most popularly noted was their collaborations on The Weeknd’s 2016 album, “Starboy” with the smash hit “I Feel It Coming”.

Though it may not be an actual album, we cannot wait to hear the masterpiece created from the two wildly talented artists. Step back in time and relive some of your favorite Daft Punk tracks below!

I’ve been with Exron since 2018 and have the privilege of contributing to the culture alongside other badass women whom I now call my friends. My introduction to the scene was first influenced by trap music, but my discography has since expanded to touch a bit of everything. Some of my favorite artists are Zeds Dead, Cloonee, Nghtmre, Flume, Infekt, Sosa, Bleu Clair, Subtronics, but the list goes on forever.
