The French producer duo attempt a return to their roots, but the results are a little too polished

With their self-titled 2007 debut, French production duo Justice – Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay –established themselves as promising Daft Punk successors. Generator shudders through raw synths and techno kick-drums, providing an apt soundtrack for a postapocalyptic dancefloor, while the tonal switches on Incognito are delightfully unpredictable, shifting from disco bass to cavernous melody. One Night/All Night drowns out guest vocalist Kevin Parker’s falsetto with a plodding backing, while Saturnine grates in its interplay of chopped guitar lines and high-pitch vocals.
