Iconic French electronic duo Justice have released a provocative new music video for “Generator” from their hotly anticipated forthcoming album Hyperdrama (set for release April 26th via Ed Banger Records / Because Music). The video blurs the lines of humanity and mechanics, depicting a sexual dalliance between two humanoid robots; an apt visual compliment to the song’s seamless blend of disco and hardcore techno. As the robots strip down to their skin, and then down further to their mechanics, Justice and director Léa Ceheivi explore what it means to be sexual in the age of technology. “I think we were excited about the idea of replicating a phenomenon from the 2000s, such as a sextape, but with a twist. The rough aesthetic of it, the lack of control. So yes, in our world, AI robots can also have sex, and orgasm « la petite mort »” says Ceheivi.
Justice initially shared “Generator” and its companion single “One Night/All Night (starring Tame Impala)” last month in conjunction with the announcement of Hyperdrama, their first album of new material in 8 years. “One Night/All Night” has laid bare the hunger for new Justice music, landing at #1 on KCRW for two weeks straight and hitting the #8 spot on Spotify’s Top Song Debut US chart. Previously the band was announced as a topline performer at this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which will act as the debut performance of their as-yet-unseen new live show. The festival adds to an already busy slate of festival appearances for the band this year, with more dates to be announced soon. Find full tour dates below
