The band also rolled out a teaser clip this morning that showed the duo unboxing the vinyl edition of their new album to the tune of their new track "Give Life Back to Music."

Daft Punk have been working on Random Access Memories since 2008, and the album will be out on May 21st.

"Electronic music right now is in its comfort zone and it's not moving one inch."
