E9 - 'Human After All' & 'Alive 2007' by Daft Punk

from Dissect · host The Ringer

Our season-long dissection of Daft Punk continues with a turning point in their catalog, as we unpack the stark minimalism and dystopian vision of 2005's Human After All. We explore how the album’s cold, mechanical sound and Orwellian themes reframe the duo’s robot personas. Then, we trace how those ideas are expanded on stage in the groundbreaking Alive 2007 tour, where Daft Punk fuse their entire discography into a single, story-driven performance.
