Empire Of The Sun, known for their celestial soundscapes, return to earth with their long-awaited fourth album, Ask That God. It’s their first since 2016’s Two Vines and enters our atmosphere with an ethereal force, the kind of force that echoes their out-of-this-world vibe.

As they return from their musical interstellar voyage, Empire Of The Sun emerges with a refreshed yet familiar aura. It’s as though their vessel has crash-landed back to Earth with a mission to rejuvenate the pop landscape. The album’s launch is boosted by the infectious single “Music On The Radio,” a track that embodies the duo’s signature combination of shimmering synths and enigmatic lyrics. Luke Steele, one half of the duo alongside Nick Littlemore, describes the song as “a teenager rebelling against his imaginary emotions,” a fitting metaphor for the track’s youthful energy. It showcases the duo’s knack for creating songs that are both infectious and thought-provoking, mixing personal introspection with universal ideas.

The album’s release was also preceded by the spirited singles “Changes” and “Cherry Blossom,” and features a collaboration with Nick Littlemore’s project PNAU on the track “AEIOU,” Littlemore describes the album as a monumental shift in global consciousness, a sentiment that reverberates through the tracks' innovative soundscapes and thoughtful lyrics.

Since their formation in 2007, Empire Of The Sun has been celebrated for their avant-garde approach to electronic music. Steele, formerly of the alternative rock band the Sleepy Jackson, and Littlemore, from the electronic dance group PNAU, have consistently forced the limits of the genre, creating a unique sound that has kept fans on their toes. With Ask That God, Empire Of The Sun take their place in the musical cosmos, delivering a soundtrack to the shifting tides of our consciousness. So, as the seasons blend and the world turns, let their latest gift be your guide through this new era of music.
