New Album Launched Down Under and Online
Part of the Random Access Memories rollout's distinctiveness was its early premiere in Australia, where the album reportedly streamed via radio ahead of its official global release - a rollout quirk that generated plenty of attention (and more than a little envy from fans elsewhere) at the time.
It's a small footnote now, but a good reminder of how event-driven Daft Punk album releases always were, treated more like cultural moments than routine product drops.
