Empire of the Sun – Walking On A Dream
One first glance at Empire of the Sun – from their album artwork, style, and song titles, and you won’t be sure whether or not you want to listen to them or stand in line at the theater to watch them on the big screen. They came across as either sci-fi diehards or glam rock warriors from outer space. Let it be known that the mastermind behind the group’s David Bowie-in-Labyrinth style is one Luke Steele. Steele you may know from his one man psychedelic pop project, the Sleepy Jackson. Walking On a Dream is the full-length debut from his newest incarnation. It’s a breezy mix of disco-pop, indie funk, and discombobulated yacht rock. Think MGMT, Phoenix, Alan Parsons Project, Prince – all filtered through Steele’s melody-heavy mind. Check out the title track. If you like the track, check out the album.
