Walking On A Dream

We say

Aussie duo Luke Steele (The Sleepy Jacksons) and Nick Littlemore's (PNAU) collaboration Empire of the Sun seems to have caught the attention of many tastemakers in their tips for this year, in fact they are No4 in the BBC Sound of 2009 poll today. The title single from their forthcoming album, this is justification enough for their inclusion on those lists. It's wonderfully laid back but packed with subtle hooks. Ben Machell of The Times wrote that this is 'a record of easy elegance shot through with an oddness that's alternately electronic and ethereal'. There are more strong tracks to come too - check out We Are The People on their MySpace. JF
