Strokes Frontman, Julian Casablancas Reveals Details On Additional Collaboration With Daft Punk

Julian Casablancas, front man for The Strokes, has decided to speak for the Robots. Apparently there is still unreleased material between him and French production / DJ duo, Daft Punk. They collaborated together previously to create "Instant Crush" on Daft Punk's recent disco inspired album Random Access Memories. However any potential new material that may come out from their work together is being described as "weird" and "super bizarre" as reported by Dancing Astronaut.

Sitting down with Revolt TV, Julian Casablancas and the Voidz, don't forget them talk about their music and shooting their new video, but Julian at the end talks about the unreleased Daft Punk collaboration he has with them. He comments that it "sounds like jazz modern weird" and that it was "weirder than any song on the record that I know of."

He recently called them to see if it could ever get released, but by looking at the Daft Punk's tendancies, they won't be releasing b-sides from the album randomly.

It isn't surprising that there are other tracks floating out there from Daft Punk that they recorded with other artists. This happens all the time with albums where the number of tracks that can fit on the LP is much less than the total you have, so some have to be cut.

It would be interesting to hear what this sounds like because from the way Casablancas is talking about this record, this could be one of the weirdest Daft Punk tracks. Now that the public knows what this record sounds like, there will be added pressure to release it. However, if there were two people impermeable to outside pressure, they would be Daft Punk. Don't get your hopes up too high for this one, but it would be very interesting to hear. In the mean time, watch the video for "Instant Crush" below.
