Music: Justice

Hailing from France, the duo of Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Auge have created the most revolutionizing dance music since Daft Punk. Pulling influences from everything from Michael Jackson to heavy metal; Justice uses heavy cut up bass lines, and distorted synth leads to forge their signature sound. Even beyond their music, Justice, in my opinion, has the best music videos in the business. The videos for "D.A.N.C.E." and "DVNO" have a very heavy typographic and illustration focus while the video for "Stress" feels more like a modern day Clockwork Orange. Justice recently released the DVD/CD 'A Cross The Universe' which features a live set as well as a documentary following Justice around on tour.

Music: Handsome Furs

The Handsome Furs is a side project of Dan Boeckner, from Wolf Parade, with his wife Alexei Perry. Their sound is a great departure from Dan's work with Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs take a much more minimalistic and melancholic approach. Their debut album "Plague Park", which came out last year on Sub Pop, revolves around a love/hate relationship with home. Dan's voice is beautifully haunting and backed by just guitar, stripped down beats and keyboards to provide a sincere tenderness.
You can listen to the entire "Plague Park" album on the band's Virb page, and I guarantee you will just keep repeating it and repeating it

Music: Miniature Tigers

Miniature Tigers is a band that I have been following for several years now, and they just keep getting better. Originally just a little project by Charlie Brand has now become a full fledged band, and believe me these fellas know how to write some catchy tunes. They just released a new album, on Modern Art Records, called 'Tell it to the Volcano' that I can't recommend it enough.
