Commercial break:Justice


Justice are back with a new single Civilisation (Ed Banger/Because Records) on April 4, but ahead that the band have given a preview of the song on a new advert for Adidas.

The ad, directed by French filmmaker Romain Gavras, who previously collaborated with the band on the controversial Stress video in 2008 and on the A Cross The Universe project, directing the documentary on the DVD that accompanied the live album.

The new album follows Justice's 2007 debut 'Cross' album. The band has posted an image that will probably be the cover of their new work, bu there are no details yet of a title for the work.

What is certain though is that expectations are high about this album, their debut setting a new standard for possibilities.

Justice go far beyond any conventional understanding of what constitutes 'dance music', 'techno', 'house music' or 'club music', and inhabit an area that is both avant-garde and experimental but immediately understandable.

With Daft Punk seemingly sidetracked with soundtracks, live albums and remixes since their 2005 Human After All album, their next being remixes of the Tron: Legacy soundtrack, it looks like it might be Justice that delivers the next chapter in French cutting-edge modern music.
