French music duo Daft Punk are making a lot of headlines in the music industry. With the highly anticipated debut of their 2013 album "Random Access Memories" set to be released May 21, promotion for the new album is starting to ramp up. In typical Daft Punk fashion; however, the band hasn't been revealing everything all at once, instead releasing perfectly timed teasers. Just days ago news broke that they would be starting their world tour in the small country town of Wee Waa, Australia on May 17. The latest news from the band is an album trailer that was debuted at this year's Coachella music festival.

There were rumors that Daft Punk's new single could be debuted on the French radio station Fun Radio on Monday. However, Coachella was the site of an album teaser trailer for Daft Punk's new album "Random Access Memories." There was a brief trailer shown during "Saturday Night Live," but this nearly two minute teaser is the most the band has given to fans so far. You can watch the video below.

The video confirms some rumors that have been floating around for some time. Neptunes' Pharrell Williams, the Strokes' Julian Casablancas, Chic front man Nile Rodgers, and Animal Collective's Panda Bear are some of the guest musical stars on the new album. "Random Access Memories" is Daft Punk's first album since 2005's "Human After All." The French duo did contribute music for 2010's "Tron: Legacy" soundtrack.

The track listing has not been confirmed or revealed as of yet, but it's said to contain 13 songs. Producer Todd Edwards, who worked with Daft Punk, on their new album described some of the songs as "future classics." "They reversed gears and went back to a time that no one's really focused on," Edwards told Vice as a part of their Creators Project series. "They're fulfilling their vision on all levels." Edwards also said, "They were saying (they wanted to go) back to the time of Fleetwood Mac, the Doobie Brothers, picking up the West Coast vibes...We would drive down from Thomas (Bangalter's) house with the top down. The weather was gorgeous. It sounds like something in a movie."

It definitely sounds like "Random Access Memories" has the potential to live up to all the hype. The album comes out May 21.
