Justice debut album is here , «†», a wonderful twelve track album which opens with “genesis”. a dark baroque beginning that introduces a mind fuck of an album that proves that justice’s unique talent is to be found where least expected. take for example “let there be light” and its strident angry electro driven by a jabbing bassline, “d.a.n.c.e”, a pure piece of vicious house sang innocently by a choir of children, “newjack” a funky parody of the opulent times of the french touch. “phantom i” that takes over where “waters of nazareth” left off to drift towards “phantom ii” and its head-swirling disco violins. “valentine”, an erotic melancholic nursery rhyme, like a tribute to vladimir cosma and “the party” a pure electro funk track where the sexy uffie plays more than ever the cheeky lolita. “dvno”, a lesson to anyone trying to fuse electro with rock. “stress”, a hectic race that would drive the chemical brothers insane with jealousy. or the finale, “one minute to midnight”, a parallel to the “genesis” opening, which closes the album beautifully. as children of the french touch, justice are throwing the established rules out the window (the notion of good and bad taste, the thin line between underground and pop music, the pigeon hole labelling between rock and electro, etc…) (...) a fantastic treat for the ears and for the feet. a generational manifest, ideally positioned on the side of the dancefloor, «†», insolent with youth, is a testimony that the french electro scene is healthier than ever. justice first.
