Empire Of The Sun

Empire of the Sun, the visionary Australian electronic duo comprising Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore, have been making waves across the world with phenomenal live shows and anthemic smash hits for the last decade as one of Australia’s most successful musical exports.

Their seminal debut album, Walking On A Dream, which the musicians described as "a spiritual road movie" spawned iconic singles “Walking On A Dream” and “We Are The People”. The critically acclaimed second LP, disco-pop Ice On The Dune featured “Alive” and “DNA” and saw the band tour the world. Third LP "Two Vines," saw the band welcoming guests like Lindsey Buckingham, members of David Bowie's band from the Blackstar sessions, and Wendy Melvoin from Prince & the Revolution and featured singles “High And Low” and“Way To Go”.

8 years since their last LP, 2024 sees the dawn of a new era.

Empyreans, Happy Like You is out now. So many of you are connecting with this song on so many levels. For us this song has a sadness and longing to it. A moment of realisation when something precious is taken from you - you don’t fully understand joy until it’s gone.

“To me, this is the most emotional moment of the record. I always find myself welling up when I listen to this. I feel like when you’re in the presence of true beauty, you are kind of speechless. When you feel something on such a profound level, I think it’s very valuable to allow yourself to go there.” - Lord Littlemore

Empyreans, thanks for all the love this past Walking On A Dream birthday weekend. Here’s a photo of the day that song was created.

This song just seemed to fall from the sky. We were living, eating, breathing music in a warehouse studio I was living in. Nick and I were at a juncture where it all came like a flash. This song has always been such a gift. - Emperor Steele

Yes, we were living in a warehouse on the outskirts of the town of Perth W.A. I was sleeping on a table, a trestle table. Each day was a sonic adventure, we were dreaming big... the words and melodies seemed to rush out our mouths as if predestined to be there, the tune came together like no other - it was this moment that changed every single other moment since.. - Lord Littlemore
