French electronic standard-bearers Justice have been nominated for two Grammy Awards, including Best Dance/Electronic Album for Hyperdrama, the duo’s first new album in eight years, and Best Dance/Electronic Recording for “Neverender (feat. Tame Impala),” which just entered the top 25 at Alternative Radio. The announcement follows the band taking the award for Best International Tour at France’s NRJ Awards last week.
The nominations arrive on the heels Justice completing their massive sold out US tour, which included a sold out performance at Los Angeles’s iconic Hollywood Bowl that marked the band’s biggest North American headlining show to date. The duo initially unveiled their dazzling new live production at this year’s Coachella, which was the subject of a recent documentary. The show has gone on to yield rave reviews across the globe, including a five star review from Rolling Stone for their rapturously received Glastonbury set.

Select press for Hyperdrama
"It’s no surprise that Justice has largely outlasted some of their early peers, yet to produce a record this poignant and realized at this point only justifies their staying power.” - VARIETY
“Hyperdrama, a 13-track album with guest appearances by Miguel, Thundercat and Tame Impala, riffs on its longtime aesthetic — melodic hooks, funky bass lines, the occasional blown-out fuzzy beat — and stretches out in fresh ways.” - NEW YORK TIMES
"Its 13 tracks add new levels of warmth, brightness and sensuality to the group’s sound while marking the most psychedelic terrain of the Justice catalog thus far. No skips, no notes." - BILLBOARD
“Proof that they can evolve in tandem with the modern era without losing their grip on the idiosyncratic brand of pop retro-futurism that made them so beloved in the first place.” - RESIDENT ADVISOR
“Seventeen years after their debut with 2007’s Cross, Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Augé continue to push the boundaries of their established sound” - PAPER
“Jarring, ambitious, complex, and conceptual, Hyperdrama has Justice’s hallmark textures and layers but feels more sophisticated.” - SPIN
