Looking like extras from a psychedelic Star Wars, Australian duo Empire of the Sun mould 1980s-influenced soft pop synthesisers with blissed-out space beats. It is the work of Luke Steele, frontman of indie band The Sleepy Jackson, and Nick Littlemore of electronic outfit PNAU and their one-off album has made it into the Australian top 10. Ending at #4 in "BBC Sound of 2009" race, I predict they would be as big as Sam Sparro last year. I have already listened to their album and I must say IT'S FANTASTIC! Highly recommend downloading it.

This is a great song. They remind me of MGMT.

Hopefully summer re-release will give it a deserved top 10 position (top 3 would be better indeed)
