Justice Withdrawals

It has been just shy of three months since I saw Justice for the first time in my life on New Year's Eve. They wrapped up their lengthy world tour in 2008 and have since been laying relatively low. Aside from continuing to perform DJ sets here and there (mainly throughout Europe at events not publicized in the states), they seem to be under the radar. I fully understand that this is a common cycle for many performers: release an album, tour the world, go back to the studio/in hiding, etc. etc. Regardless, I need my Justice fix! I continue to keep A Cross the Universe on repeat as well as many other classics from my extensive Justice library including Planisphere and a handful of their DJ sets but I'm ready for more.

There is no telling when the new album will be released, as Justice often admit in interviews, they are very slow in the area of production and usually go through extensive stages of planning or no planning at all before coming to a conclusion on a final product. I went through similar withdrawals with Daft Punk after their epic Alive 2007 tour wrapped up and Justice was my cure for that episode. What am I to do now? There are so many different rumors regarding the release of the new Daft Punk studio album that I have no idea where to begin. On top of that, the Daft duo has just been contracted to compose the score for Tron 2.0 (I approve) so there is no telling when I will be relieved of my French electronic deficiency syndrome (let's call that F.E.D.S.) via the sounds of Daft Punk or Justice.

Until then I will just have to keep listening to the hits and spending valuable time on my fave music blogs in search of new noise.
