Justice - Audio, Video, Disco (Dailymotion video link)
What's The Story?
Justice are the heirs apparent to Daft Punk, or at least another spin at the same great format. They're a French electronic duo whose first album, †, was an absolute smash full of great anthems. Audio, Video, Disco is the name of their upcoming sophomore album due out October 25th, and this was the second single released from it.
Who's To Blame?
That little alien with all the viral links and pictures of cats.
Why ♥ It?
Justice were quoted recently as describing their new album as "a progressive rock record, played by guys that don’t know how to play".
...Sure.
Actually, this song seems to be one of the ones that they were referring to. The high pitched synth and strings sounds layered throughout echo something you might catch in the background of a Spock's Beard or Flower Kings song. The title (and only lyric) is repeated and processed sort of like a Yes track.
But don't let that discourage the hopes of electronic gold. Though layered, the percussion and beat echo of other Justice-style songs. Further to that, the droning piano is something that can be heard in other Justice tunes, as well as in contemporaries (Bloody Beetroots, etc.)
It's not the absolute banger I'm awaiting from the new Justice album, but not every song can be DVNO. Audio, Video, Disco is a solid (if varied) addition to an electronic library and has a good catchy factor, to boot.
