There might not be a group that has been as impactful on electronic music as Daft Punk has. 

The French duo helped shape the genre. Over the pair’s 28-year history, they released four studio albums, composed the score for Disney’s “Tron: Legacy” and collaborated with artists like Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, The Weeknd, Nile Rodgers, Paul Williams, the Parcels and Giorgio Moroder.

In a video titled “Epilogue,” uploaded on Monday by Daft Punk on YouTube, two helmeted men, one gold and the other silver, are walking in an empty oasis; the film reel grainy and their backs faced to the camera. Leather jackets studded in gold read “Daft Punk.” Their arms slowly swing at the sides; The man in the gold helmet trails up ahead leaving the silver helmeted man far behind, in the dust quite literally. The two faceless helmets stop and stare at each other, recognizing the distance emotions can be felt.

The film, excerpted largely from their 2006 science fiction film “Electroma,” was uploaded to announce their break up. Daft Punk’s longtime publicist Kathryn Frazier, confirmed the news to Pitchfork but didn’t elaborate beyond that. The two men inside the helmets, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, will leave behind a rich legacy of French house music, science fiction film and iconic remixes.
