Justice: Live, August 2
What the world needs now is a proper blog house resurgence, taking electronic music back to the wild, carefree, pre-EDM neon-punk party days of the late-’00s. And if any project was to deliver us there, it’d be Justice, the French duo who helped define the genre. Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay are prepping Hyperdrama, their first new Justice album in eight years, due out in April, and will then take it across North America, a journey that leads to Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway on August 2. After dropping a Tame Impala collab earlier this year, Justice deliver a fresh joint this week called “Saturnine” and featuring Miguel. “We don’t think we’ve ever made anything that sounds remotely like this track before,” Justice state. “It started with Gaspard playing around with an E-mu synthesizer guitar sound, and he found the main riff. The rest came very quickly. We love Miguel’s voice when it’s raw. We wanted him to sound outrageously frontal, with no space around his voice. We felt confident we could make this work with a single mono take of his voice, and minimal processing. It also suited the theme of the song, that’s this sort of fear and loathing in Las Vegas sweaty, hallucinatory flow. Feeling well in feeling bad.” Tickets go on sale Friday (March 22) at 10 a.m. local time.
