some info about empire of the sun:
Having well and truly reinvigorated the Pnau name following the success of their most recent album, Nick Littlemore has embarked on a mysterious side project with Luke Steele of The Sleepy Jackson that’s creating quite a stir. The duo have named their new venture Empire Of The Sun, and they’ve worked with Littlemore’s partner-in-Pnau-crime Pete Mayes, as well as Jonathan Sloan (aka Donnie Sloan) of Sneaky Sound System.

There’s an album on the way, but the first glimpse of their music has made its way online with a teaser video for the single ‘Walking On A Dream’ appearing recently. Filmed in Shanghai, it’s got us excited to hear the full album. The single release is said to have remixes from Sam La More, Van She Tech and the Hong Kong Blondes too!

I heard it this morning on J tv and just loved it. I was then straight onto the internet to see what it was all about. Great track

I love this track and the video clip is fabbo.

Is this a sneaky/teaser pre-release? Where can I get the track?

Cheers,
K

does anyone have information on the album’s release date?

Not sure if anyone has yet seen the film clip, (if you haven’t, you might as well check it out, has a uniquely interesting flare) but pair are brilliant, where they high when they decided to make the clip? I have no idea. But I love it non the less.

I really want to get their album. The clips are better than MGMT’s (at least you know what your looking at, except ‘Electric Feel’ I like the quirkiness of their creativity).

Good luck to you Empire Of The Sun! Good to see some more excellent Australian tallent.

E xx

I can’t wait for an album myself! October is the date I think.

This track is of its lid. I heard it sunday morning of me rikta. Best pellets eva! This song will bring big things thanks Empire Of The Sun!

…after hearing ‘with you forever’ on pnau’s recent album i knew it was a great combination with luke steele, but once i saw & heard the track/clip ‘walking on a dream’ on jtv i was speechless & cant wait for more from this fine australian post-pop-electro callabaration…

Empire of the Sun, good movie. This may be as sad!?.. Self-indulgent. Phony. A somewhat pretty but unintentionally disturbing video. Whatever’s been leftover here seems completely pointless. I want substance next time. Though i won’t be expecting any Spielberg-level production..

Not the first website to show news about them.

This track is fab. Id like to point out thats it’s all Donnie Sloan. Anyone who knows the lad and his collaborations will realise his unique sound. Fron the keys to the beats, it’s very Donnie, all played by Donnie. GIve the boy some credit for his talents! Brilliance…..

Love the song, love the filmclip. I so can’t wait for the album. I hope they tour soon as i’d love to see what energy both of these great artists bring to their live shows!

Downloaded from i-tunes after first hearing on JJJ. But can anyone tell me the lyrics to the chorus? There’s a lyrics section on their website but I can’t seem to access it… Best song I’ve heard all year… Great to see such awesome Aus talent. Hope there’s more of the same on the album!

Brilliant !

the chorus for kaye
is it real now
when two people become one
i can feel it
when two people become one

WALKING ON A DREAM

Walking on a dream
How can I explain
Talking to myself
Will I see again

We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I’m just in awe of what’s in front of me

Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

Thought I’d never see
The love you found in me
Now it’s changing all the time
Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime

Catch me I’m falling down
Catch me I’m falling down

Don’t stop just keep going on
I’m your shoulder lean upon
So come on deliver from inside
All we got is tonight that is right till first light

Amazing music…….Fantastic Video shoot and edit!!!!

A great clip that has come out of nowhere…..Success to you guys

Great catchy beat, film clip is also cool thought it was the dude from pnau.

I think this is a truly a fabulous written love song for this era…

Brillant!

period

This song is soooooooooo good!!!

Heard it for the first time on Zane Lowe’s show on Radio 1 a couple of hours ago and was blown away by it.

Congrats guys, you’ve delivered an absolute masterpiece.

Just a freaking GREAT song…
Bought the album yesterday and guess what? The whole album is oh so summer sweet!!
Check out track 4 too (We are the People) Its right up there, probably destined to be the next single i reckon

All i wanna know now is…When do they tour?!

I could be late but I only recently discovered Empire of the Sun. These two are sweet as, listening to ‘Walking on a dream’ kinda makes me feel as though I’m flying through the clouds when I listen to it and close my eyes. My Girlfriend loves them too. Truly unique and mystical, nothing like them and hopefully never will be!!!…
