Justice – Civilization

After releasing their critically acclaimed album in 2007, Justice (a French duo consisting of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay) enjoyed incredible success with their huge first release, an electro house album infused with heavy rock synths. I had the honor of seeing them live in 2008 at Ultra Music Festival shortly before they went completely off the map and stayed silent for a few years. Now, it is official. The silence is broken. Their new single, entitled Civilization is out now! This is the first track of their new album, which does not have a name or release date yet.

Ever since I found out about Justice, I quickly realized that they are excellent at promoting themselves. They love to create a mystery. Its seems as if their strategy is to get people guessing, thinking, talking and always wondering about them. Their first album, entitled ” † “, had several song titles referring to the Bible (eg. Genesis, Waters of Nazareth, and Let There Be Light). Try searching for them on Google – you won’t even find a website. Nothing. (Although they recently created a Facebook page). All this guessing, wondering, and talking has built up so much curiosity behind the duo. But no matter what you say, you can’t take away from their remarkable album. Their album was not like anything else I’ve head before – 4 years later I can still listen to this album on repeat and not get bored. After all this waiting, their fan’s expectations are SO HIGH for their next album. Mark my words, when this album drops, its going to be a big deal.

– Civilization

Oh, and did I mention that Civilization is the soundtrack to Adidas’ new commercial. Watch it. It’s so intense and makes you want to get up and do something.

You can buy Civilization from iTunes.
