[News] New Daft Punk Track "Renoma Street" Coming July 21st?

News has broke that new music from the legendary French Duo Daft Punk is to be released next month. French magazine Tsugi are to release a summer compilation next month. The above image shows the tracklisting and after a little research I found the below on the editor's twitter page:

Sachez le : ce hors série 4 de  est en bonne voie, le cd compil' de l'été tue, il sera bien en kiosques le 21/7

Translated it says that the new "special issue of Tsugi Mag is on track, the CD compilation 'summer kills', it will be well in the kiosks 21/7" (Pardon me if this isn't 100% correct in terms of translation but the date's hard to mess up!)

The image above lists the tracklisting and it clearly states Daft Punk and the track "Renoma Street". Watch this space for more news. Over here there's a pretty decent thread on Neogaf regarding it with more confirmation from Patrice.

[Listen] Muse - "Survival"

As announced earlier, Muse have just premiered the first single from their forthcoming album The 2nd Law. It's titled "Survival" and is out now, it's also been named as the official song of the London 2012 Olympics. Zane Lowe premiered the track on Radio One along with a pre-lude. Following the album tease which featured a bit of dubstep "Survival" delivers an interesting big sounding piano intro before the finger clicks and high pitched vocal beat kicks in. Layers of vocals build up on top of Matt's voice and then the guitar riff drops. A mid song solo pairs up with Chris' bass line nicely and the drums are pretty damn big. Enough chat. Hit play below to hear a the Devon trio's first track in a while. It's nice to have them back and hey, no dubstep! Jump over to 107.7 The End for the stream.

The 2nd Law is released on September the 17th.

UPDATE: We've just got the official stream via Warner. Check it out right here on SKoA below.
