Empire of the Sun
September 7th 2008 10:26
What do you think you'd get if you took Pnau and mixed it with the Sleepy Jackson? If you haven't already heard Luke Steele has snatched up Nick Littlemore from Pnau and together they have created Empire of the Sun.
If you haven't heard Empire of the Sun yet definitely check out their video clip on youtube. clicky. It has been uploaded in High Definition because it is such a feast of colours it'd be a pity to see it in any other format. It shines out, spliced with glowing orbs and face paint, making all the other posts look somewhat monochromatic. It was shot on location at Shanghaii which is where the famous novel and movie that the band take their name from is set.
Personally I believe that both Nick and Luke are inspirational musical figures and the gelling of these two has made this little blogger very very excited. Just quietly I have a bit of a crush on Nick and stumbled across these guys after a late night google mission. Thank god for google.
Nick's smooth voice balances out Luke's jolty singing. It definitely feels like a summer anthem in the making, light and fluffy I can't wait to hear what the rest of the album sounds like. But beware it is highly addictive as it is soo catchy!
There is not very much info on the band available yet, their website includes the song, lyrics and a free download of a remix done by Nick's brother Sam La More. Oh to be in a family with musical genius'.
oriental dress and face paint the future of Australia's music scene?
