The follow-up to 2005's "Human After All" will indeed contain 13 tracks, after reports surfaced last week that Sony Music had registered 13 untitled tracks through licensing organization PPL.

Last month, Daft Punk confirmed that they had signed to Columbia, and on March 2, a mysterious television ad aired during "Saturday Night Live" featuring 15 seconds of a new song.

In addition to their three studio albums beginning with 1997's "Homework," the highly influential French production duo of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo released the soundtrack to "Tron: Legacy" in 2010.

Daft Punk also released their second live album, "Alive 2007," in 2007.

After Daft Punk announced a strategic alliance with Ultra Records earlier this year, the duo's 1 5-second "SNL" commercial was projected onto a building outside of the Ultra Music Festival in Miami on Friday night.

Could Daft Punk crash the second weekend of this year's Ultra fest? Stay tuned.
