"...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".
