Electronic Duo Justice on How Taking Eight Years Between Projects Influenced New Album ‘Hyperdrama’: ‘It’s a Big Leap of Faith’
French electronic duo Justice discusses the anxiety of taking eight years off between albums for 'Hyperdrama.'
Justice presented as something of an alternative to their peers; their music was distinct, like a mutated Daft Punk, with assaultive songs that mainly lacked vocals and touted instrumentation pocked by harsh, distorted sounds. At 41 and 44, respectively, De Rosnay and Augé have outlasted many of their bloghouse peers, largely taking extended breaks between records and coming back with full-lengths that ignore the conventions of both pop and dance music of the time. That much was evident at this year’s Coachella Music Festival, where they debuted a new live stage setup and toured their discography from Justice classics (“D.A.N.C.E.,” “TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY”) to “Hyperdrama” cuts (“Mannequin Love,” “Neverender”).
