A second single has been released by Justice, ahead of their album which is expected in October 24,
The song is the title track of the album, Audio, Video Disco.
It follows the release of Civilisation in March this year.
The album, on Because records, is certainly much anticipated, and if the two tracks that have been released so far are anything to go by it will certainly exceed expectations.
Consider how their 2007 debut has become one of the most influential French albums in recent years, it's surprising to think that this is only actually their second proper full album.
The band have been involved in producing and remixing other acts - collecting a Grammy for their remix of MGMT - and have released a live album and film and have toured extensively.
The new song marks a more rock orientated sound to the band, the band saying in an interview it was like "a progressive rock record, played by guys that don't know how to play."
When I wrote about Justice in March, I said: "Justice go far beyond any conventional understanding of what constitutes 'dance music', 'techno', 'house music' or 'club music', and inhabit an area that is both avant-garde and experimental but immediately understandable." I stand by it, and this new track confirms my opinion I reckon.
The video sets them in a more conventional rock setting, albeit in a highly stylised one. It's a far more complicated piece of video than it first appears.
The next chapter in the Justice story is being written, and yet again it looks like essential reading.
