In news that can only be called “goose bump inducing”, Daft Punk are working on their fourth studio album.

According to Busy P, Ed Banger Records head honcho and Daft’s manager for the last 12 years:

The boys are in a studio in Paris at the moment,” he revealed to ITM. “And I can’t wait to listen to their new stuff! The good thing is that they are making music at the moment.” While those creative juices are flowing again, it’s not known at this stage when the new album might see the light of day. “They are slow, you know,” Busy P laughed when asked. “They are taking their time, and they have a right.”

Oh.  My.  God.

Other good news?  Ed Banger Vol III just dropped (5/26/2008)
