Empire of the Sun Announces First Album in Eight Years, 'Ask That God'
The Australian duo also release the record’s second single “Music On The Radio.”
Empire of the Sun is officially set to return after eight long years with their upcoming album, Ask That God.
Set to release on July 26, the electronic music duo’s fourth studio album is billed as “a holistic musical adventure where imagination and reality blur and the surreal reigns supreme,” with Littlemore saying, “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.” Luke Steele added, “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.”
Accompanying the announcement is the release of the album’s second single “Music On The Radio,” which arrives with an accompanying portal-jumping music video from Michael Maxxis. “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” added Steele.
