Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter met in 1987 while attending the Lycée Carnot secondary school in Paris. The two became friends and recorded demos with others from the school. In 1992, they formed the band Darlin’, with Bangalter on bass, Homem-Christo on guitar, and Laurent Brancowitz on guitar and drums. The trio named themselves after the Beach Boys song ” Darlin ‘ “, which they covered along with an original composition. Both tracks were released on a multi-artist EP called Shimmies in Super 8 under Duophonic Records , a label owned by the London-based band Stereolab , who invited Darlin’ to open for shows in the United Kingdom.
