Sydneysider Dreamwalking in Shanghai
Take the electronic vibe and campy aesthetic of the Pet Shop Boys circa the early nineteen-nineties, drip in Jake Shears' sugary falsetto, and flavour further with MGMT-esque syrup - and you get a musical confection that sounds like the lovely ear candy that is Empire of the Sun. And you haven't even seen the dreamy, slightly-unhinged music video with its little knowing nods to HK martial arts drama serials yet! I can't wait for the album, due out in early October!
