Empire Of The Sun have laid out plans for their first album in eight years.
The long-awaited follow-up to 2016's 'Two Vines' is titled 'Ask That God' and will arrive through Capitol Records on July 26. The Australian duo returned with Changes, the first single from the record, in April, and now they've dropped a second dancey bop in the form of Music On The Radio, which offers their signature dreamy, synth-led electro-pop sound. Vocalist and main songwriter Luke Steele commented:
"'Ask That God' is an album we searched for and were thankfully blessed with. We are nothing more than conduits, gathering experience and finding what is meant for the Empire to find.
"To me this song is like a teenager rebelling against his imaginary emotions. It’s penned in only that unique way Lord Littlemore can bring words to life. The bass wraps it’s arms around you in some kind of hypnotic groove and you’re powerless to its charms."
Producer Nick Littlemore added: "It has been a journey unlike any other that Empire Of The Sun has undertaken. We always ‘go there’ when it comes to exploration of both the self and the outside world. This body of work represents the greatest shift in consciousness our world has ever seen and that ’s reflected in the music."
