Today's random shuffle is courtesy of "Australia's larger-than-life electro-glam-pop duo" Empire Of The Sun.
Walking On A Dream, their debut single in 2008, was everywhere, impossible to ignore yet laden with enough aural and visual hooks to justify it's ubiquity. A friend lent me the album of the same name and it was on constant rotation.
Standing On The Shore was the third single from Walking On A Dream, released in 2009. i've included the original widescreen video, a live performance from Club Nokia in Los Angeles on 16th October 2011 and, finally, the version that popped up on my player, the 8-minute Lifelike remix by Laurent Heinrich.
I bought third album Two Vines in 2016, but I assumed that Empire Of The Sun had since gone their separate ways, so it was a pleasant surprise to find that they released a fourth album, Ask That God, in July 2024.
