Sometimes people need a border or a frontier between their job, their business, and real life and friendship, but we don't have that because whether we are in Paris, touring or making music we are always together. When we are not touring, we are doing the same things anyway, we don't need Justice and real life to be separated, we are together whatever happens.
The first studio version of Fire, without Romualdâs eventual replacement vocals
â...There were lots of harmonies, and Gaspardâs reminded me of Colin Blunstoneâs... really soft & sultry, with lots of whispering on the notes.â // x
Have you ever played other instruments, and do you find a different kind of energy there, say, with an electric guitar?Â

Gaspard:Â When weâve played real instruments, we never had the reaction we have now.Â
Xavier:Â Gaspard used to play drums and cello. I played guitar and bass, but we were not very good.
âAre the constant comparisons with Daft Punk flattering or have they become annoying?â
Xavier: ...I know itâs kind of normal for the journalistic process, when youâre introducing some new band, to give a simple comparison. But when they say it just because theyâve read it somewhere, itâs annoying because they donât know what theyâre talking about.
Justice: What is Beautiful and What is Not / Full quote belowÂ
âThe first time we read it â about four years ago, after two releases or so â we were flattered, because we like them. Afterward, it was just strange. When you ask the journalists why, which we do, they say, âUhhhh.â They donât really know why. Then theyâll say itâs because of the vocals, but we only have one track with vocals. Then theyâll say, âOh, I was thinking more of Aphex Twin,â and weâll say, âWell, which is it, Aphex Twin or Daft Punk? Choose your camp.â I know itâs kind of normal for the journalistic process, when youâre introducing some new band, to give a simple comparison. But when they say it just because theyâve read it somewhere, itâs annoying because they donât know what theyâre talking about. The comparison is not annoying if itâs not pointless. They see weâre two guys from Paris who make electronic music that goes out to the clubs and we have the same manager. But if we are compared to Daft Punk because we make electronic music that is listened to by people who are not into electronic music, thatâs cool. Even in the way we represent ourselves, when we go to photo shoots or whatever, we have a totally different way of doing it. Even Daft Punk was compared to the Chemical Brothers. We have less and less comparisons with them. Now, we just have our own identity.âÂ
