Justice Announces First Album in Eight Years, 'Hyperdrama'
The French duo also released the singles “One Night/All Night” with Tame Impala and “Generator.”
Justice officially announced their upcoming album, Hyperdrama.
Set to release on April 26, Hyperdrama marks the French electronic duo’s fourth studio effort and their first since 2016’s Woman. The group also dropped off the double single “One Night/All Night” with Tame Impala and “Generator.” Justice explained in a press release that they wanted “One Night/All Night” to “sound as if a dark/techno iteration of Justice had found a sample of a disco iteration of Kevin Parker.” The pair continued, “Kevin has a sense of melody that’s fascinating in the sense that he manages to write melodies that feel both simple and natural, but very peculiar at the same time. This song oscillates between pure electronic music and pure disco but you never really get the two at the same time. This very idea of switching instantly from a genre to another within a song runs through the whole record, and is maybe showcased the clearest in ‘One Night/All Night.’”
Meanwhile, for “Generator,” the duo described it as “like ‘Getaway’ by the Salsoul Orchestra, but with gabber and classic 90s hardcore techno sounds.” They continued, “Disco/funk and electronic music at large have always been core elements of the music we make as Justice. In Hyperdrama, we make them coexist, but not in a peaceful way. We like this idea of making them fight a bit for attention.”
