Justice (band)



""...like futuristic beats deconstructed by cavemen.""

- Jason Lymangrover, AllMusic.com

Justice is an electronic music duo consisting of the Frenchmen Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay. As of this writing they have released three albums: † (Cross, 2007), the live album A Cross the Universe (2008), and Audio, Video, Disco (2011), along with a digital EP, "Planisphère" (2008).

This band provides examples of:

 * All CGI Cartoon: The "Civilization" video
 * A Wild Rapper Appears: Labelmate Uffie on "Tthhee Ppaarrttyy.".
 * Bilingual Bonus: "Audio, Video, Disco" is at first glance a simply musically-inclined Word Salad Title; it's actually Latin for "I hear, I see, I learn".
 * Coolest Club Ever: The subject of "The Party" and "DVNO".
 * Creepy Cool Crosses: Crosses and Christian iconography feature hugely in their work.
 * Ho Yay: As shown in A Cross the Universe, Gaspard and Xavier occasionally kiss before shows.
 * Incredibly Lame Pun: As stated above; A Cross the Universe.
 * Lighter and Softer: Audio, Video, Disco was meant to be a "daylight album" when compared to †, according to Word of God.
 * Looped Lyrics: "Audio! Audio! Audio! Video disco!"
 * Loudness War: This is the trademark sound of Ed Banger Records in general, but Justice take compression to its absolute limits.
 * Lucky Charms Title: †.
 * New Sound Album: † is gritty, buzzy electronic dance. Audio, Video, Disco is mainly progressive rock.
 * Not Christian French House: They are Christian, and they have a prominent cross motif, and some of their titles have a Biblical slant...but it doesn't seem to get any deeper than that. The only lyrics on †, for example, are about a dancing girl and going to the club.
 * The Oner: The video for "Audio, Video, Disco".
 * Sampling:.† featured samples from over 400 albums!
 * Shout-Out: "D.A.N.C.E"'s lyrics make several references to Michael Jackson.
 * Song Allusion Title: A Cross the Universe to "Across the Universe".
 * Spelling Song: "D.A.N.C.E".
