Back in 2007, Justice’s crunching deconstruction of techno, pop, R&B, electro, funk, metal, and pretty much anything else that took their fancy established the pair as one of France’s most vital musical exports. They have been celebrated with one GRAMMY Award nomination, a Victoire de la Musique—a French award—and three MTV Awards.
Their second album, 2011’s Audio, Video, Disco, pushed the sonic boat out even further. A bombastic aural wallop whose classic ’70s rock flourishes owed as much to Queen and Yes as they did Frankie Knuckles or Prince, it saw them embark on a rapturously received world tour that took in headline slots at Coachella and Lollapalooza. Released in 2016, their third album, “Woman,” took us on board and catapulted us from the elastic R&B pop of ‘Pleasure’ to the rush of ‘Alakazam!’ without any transition whatsoever, all with a more ‘live’ approach to the record, heralding the next path taken by the duo.
