Random Access Memories

0 upcoming performances in New York

“Random Access Memories” is a late-period Daft Punk work that looks back to American pop and club music from the turn of the 1980s, filtering those references through meticulous studio craft. Parts of the album were recorded at Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan, tying its retro-futurist sound to a real New York room with a long musical afterlife. At Arlene’s Grocery, the focus is on the recorded object: sequencing, texture, and the way production becomes composition. It matters as a document of dance music treating nostalgia as material rather than mood.
