Empire of the Sun
The electro- psychedelic project is led by Luke Steele, the enigmatic wunderkind behind Australia’s The Sleepy Jackson. Exotic, lavish, larger-than-life, Walking On A Dream is a bold, visionary and quite brilliant album, which manages to sound exhilaratingly contemporary, audaciously forward-looking, yet also curiously archaic all at once. The singles ‘Walking On A Dream’, ‘We Are The People’, ‘Standing On The Shore’ and ‘Without You’ feature a groundbreaking aesthetic of electronic beats, pop melodies and psychedelic overtones.
