Civilization” came out last month after it originally appeared in a Romain Gavras-directed Adidas commercial. Here’s the video for “Civilization,” which premiered this morning on Dailymotion. In a Progress Report, Gaspard Augé said, “With Justice, we always did music that could provide strong feelings or images, though we hate the word “cinematic” when it comes to music, because it sounds like ’90s trip-hop.

The video was directed by Edouard Salier, who’s also done clips for Massive Attack and Air. Check it out:

Their untitled second album is out sometime this fall via Ed Banger/ Elektra.
