MUSIC: Justice - A Cross The Universe

The Story Begins...


Justice has just released their live album and documentary album yesterday (November 24th 2008). Justice who is famous with tracks such as "D.A.N.C.E", "Waters of Nazareth" and the clash sound with Simian titled "Never Be Alone (We Are Your Friends)".


The live portion of the album was recorded at their concert in San Francisco on March 27th 2008.

The DVD portion is the release of their documentary during their North American tour in March 2008 and it is directed by Romain Gavras, So-Me and the band themselves (Gaspard Auge, Xavier de Rosnay). The documentary is mainly covers their personal experience during their tour and some of their live shows.


Their music style has been said as a mix of heavy metal influence and combines cut-up bass lines with a compressed and distorted synth sound. Their music also includes bass slapping which makes'em a bit of electro house style.

As quoted by the duo in the Montreal Mirror:
“Yes, we are actually Christian,” the thoughtful Augé carefully reveals. “But the cross that we use is something that we prefer to let people interpret in whatever way they want. Because that way it’s more stimulating to the imagination than things that are explicitly explained, like saying, ‘Okay, we’re Christians, gotta go to church,’ or whatever. That’s not what we’re trying to do. We find it far more interesting to allow people to create their own version of the image.”

The ostensibly Christian demeanour certainly lies in stark contrast to the general behaviour witnessed at the events at which Justice perform. The music too is somewhat at odds with the supposed austerity of Christianity.
