Everybody's favourite Frenchies are back with what is a rather fine single and a more progressive sound. The title track “Audio , Video, Disco” is a quite stomping slice of electro house...with a harsh almost rocking edge. It's still pretty accessible and very dance orientated, it has stomping drums, almost crushing bass and vocodered vocals. It's pretty uptempo and I reckon you could well work up a sweat in some night hole. The flip side is called “Helix” and serves more Gallic flavoured stomp. I reckon this song could also be a pretty strong single as it's very catchy and retains the dance/rock template. Massive tunes and a faint whiff of progressive rock make this a very interesting, sure fire hit. Mebbe...

Xavier de Rosnay & Gaspard Augé, the influential Parisian duo known as Justice, present their massive new single, the title track, from their impending second album 'Audio, Video, Disco'

The new effort is at once looser and heavier than previous releases, using the combined musical vocabulary of rock and electronic to conjure a laidback, brut effort existing on the outer fringes of pop.

Audio, Video, Disco was created in the duo’s home studio, with all instrumentation performed by the group themselves. The duo crafted an epic masterpiece that exchanges the ‘night in the city’ setting of their debut with an ‘afternoon in the country’ atmosphere.

‘Cross’ established the group as an international force and the duo have responded with a huge album that panders to no one, equally at home blaring from a dance club soundsystem or performed in an arena. Don’t be surprised when it finds its home in the latter.
