Justice- Hyperdrama (review)

Published by Mason Oldridge, 19 April 2024


If asked to name a French electronic duo, most people would probably say Daft Punk because of their international fame, though Justice, who achieved some success in the 00s   with their Simian remix We Are Your Friends and some singles from their debut album Cross, offer a more unique sound and are out to prove they’ve still got it.

Their first studio album in seven years, the boys pair electronic music with disco and funk elements.


The twosome have teamed up with Australian psychedelic musician Tame Impala on a couple of tracks, a collaboration that works well, especially on lead single One Night/All Night as Parker’s dreamy vocals play over the electronic beat. Generator is the highlight though as it carries Justice’s trademark heavier electronic sound.


Unfortunately, some tracks see the disco and funk influences make for a much lighter sound and it feels as though they are losing grip of the heavier beat that sets them apart from their EDM contemporaries.


Justice demonstrate their skill as talented producers once again, but only a handful of the songs could fire up a club.
