An Australian duo blending electronic beats with psychedelic textures and themes of escapism.
For a quick sense of their vibe, try "Walking on a Dream" or "We Are the People". They're the kind of songs that stick around.
Their debut single "Walking on a Dream" became a global hit in 2008, defining a sound that mixes electronic beats with psychedelic layers. Songs like "We Are the People" and "Alive" wrap spiritual themes in dreamy production, offering a distinct escape from the ordinary. That approach has kept their catalog, including tracks like "Two Vines", relevant even with sporadic output.
Empire of the Sun formed in 2007 as a duo with Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore. They released albums like "Walking on a Dream" in 2008 and "Ice on the Dune" in 2013, but a 2010 tour cancellation due to Steele's struggles marked a shift. Their music since, including 2016's "Two Vines", has continued their layered electronic style amid quieter periods.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
