Something a bit strange just happened. A minimal email came from the ED BANGER RECORDS crew, who just happened to include a link to a new track from JUSTICE. And while I’m a little suspicious, the tune certainly sounds like it could be from the French duo who conquered the world with their last album.
Yes, it’s deep and full of flared horns, but didn’t Xavier and Gaspard say they wanted to go in a new direction with a future release? Let’s read into this a bit then, starting with the track’s title, “Beginning of the End.” I’m going to say something was lost in the translation and perhaps it’s the end of the beginning. After all, about half-way through the tune changes directions. Why don’t you have a listen and tell me what you think.

MP3: Justice – Beginning of the End

EDIT: Justice has confirmed the track is a fake. I thought this was likely when the emails I sent to the sender kept bouncing back.

The intro is a bit too long, then there’s that lost bass plunkin’ in the background… and then WHAM! they build up the energy only to sputter back to the beginning. The track needs more work.

What Dial-Up? Justice always leaves me in a perpetual pre-orgasmic state, never allowing the coil to fully unwind. I dig them for those moments where they satiate you just long enough to make you think you know what’s coming next. I’ve missed me some Justice. Thanks for the post.
