Thomas Bangalter, one half of Daft Punk, contributed the score to Quentin Dupieux (Mr. Ozi)’s latest comedy film, Daaaaaalí! Now, he has announced the soundtrack’s official release on February 7th via Ed Banger.
Daaaaaalí!, which premiered at last year’s Venice Film Festival, features a variety of French actors all playing the surrealist painter Salvador Dalí. It will receive a theatrical release in France on February 7th.
Due to their respective efforts in the French electronic scene of the late ’90s, Bangalter and Dupieux have been longtime friends; Bangalter previously cameoed (sans his usual Daft Punk mask) in Dupieux’s 2014 film Reality.
Bangalter released Mythologies, his first album post-Daft Punk, in 2023. During an appearance on BBC’s The First Time with Matt Everett podcast last year, the artist said he was “relieved” that the Daft Punk era was over and expanded on the duo’s 2021 breakup.
Daft Punk shared a 10th anniversary edition of Random Access Memories last year, which they followed with a drumless version of the album in November.
