Justice Returns With Civilization


JUSTICE - CIVILIZATION directed by Edouard Salier

After a few years of being absent Gaspard Auge and Xavier De Rosnay, the guys behind Justice have returned. Their debut album and only release "Cross" was huge back in 2007, with just about every track blasting fresh and bold new sounds. They turned the genre on its head, choosing to opt for an acid house direction with a lot of gritty, noisy tracks. Some people said they lacked substance, but heck...I enjoyed the cheap thrills they delivered.

This newest track, which I heard a while back just got elevated to a new high with this awesome music video that sets the stage for something way bigger. I loved the scale and surreal feel that director Edouard Salier managed to capture and how well he visually narrated the fall of civilization and the birth of something new. Their timing was great, as the music video seems relevant to the state of current civilizations right now, teetering towards chaos ever more. I can only hope for a follow up to this awesome music video to accompany the new album. Keeping my fingers crossed.
