Empire of the Sun has released ‘Two Vines’ the title track of their upcoming third album.
“There was an image we talked about very early on with this record before we wrote the title track, Two Vines, and that was this image of a modern city overtaken by jungle, almost like mother nature taking back the planet. All the buildings will turn back to sand. All it will be is nature again. We wanted to make something that reflected the beauty of that,” Nick Littlemore said in a statement.
The song ‘High and Low’ was also previewed earlier this week.
‘Two Vines’ is due in October. The album was recorded in Hawaii and Los Angeles. The album is co-produced by Empire Of The Sun and Peter Mayes (Sia, The Killers, Mika), alongside long-term collaborator, Donnie Sloan (Midnight To Monaco).
Nearly twenty years after their cult debut Thirteen became an underground classic of the indie-dance era, Teenager, the long-running collaboration between Nick Littlemore of PNAU and Empire of the Sun and New Zealand's Pip Brown, better known as Ladyhawke, return with their long-awaited second album Fourteen. The release arrives alongside the pulsing electro-acid groove of lead track Getting Tough.
Seventeen years after they first made their mark on the global stage, Empire of the Sun are revisiting their breakthrough hit Walking On A Dream with a brand-new seven-track EP, Walking On A Dream (Reimagined), out now via EMI Music Australia.
PNAU/Empire of the Sun pair of Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes have become Record Company Moguls. Littlemore and Mayes have formed the new label Lab78. They have also announced their first signing Vlossom.
Dreams, the side-project of Daniel Johns from Silverchair and Luke Steele of Sleepy Jackson and Empire of the Sun, will release their debut album ‘No One Defeats Us’ on September 14.
