French electro duo Daft Punk have admitted that the popularity surrounding their return to music has overwhelmed them because they don't understand why people are so "crazy" about what they're doing.

The 'Get Lucky' hitmakers are gearing up to release their new album, 'Random Access Memories', and the record's lead single shot straight into No.1 in countries across the globe. During an interview with DazedDigital.com, member Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo confessed that the public's excitement over the project has blown him away:

"Right now my brain is shutting everything down, making me pretend that everything is normal. It still amazes me that everyone is so crazy about what we are doing. I'm like, either I am crazy or everybody's crazy. Maybe I am just dreaming but people seem to really freak out at what we are doing. I don't know why!"

Thomas Bangalter added: "The music itself is exactly what we wanted it to be. We have no anxiety about that. Sharing it with the world is something different. It's a big question mark. There's a certain amount of excitement and madness that enters the equation."
