Daft Punk are, of course, broken up. While that remains a sad fact of life, the iconic French electronic duo still have a vault of goodies from across their near three-decade career to comb through. The most recent release is a slideshow of the official storyboards for the music video for their 1997 single "Around The World." The clip was directed by Michel Gondry, the French filmmaker who went on to create Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. You may have seen the storyboard video before on the 1997 DVD D.A.F.T., but it's streaming below on YouTube offically for the first time. Check it out via Pitchfork.
