Empire of the Sun is back. The visionary duo from Down Under, consisting of Emperor Steele (Luke Steele) and Lord Littlemore (Nick Littlemore), have ended their eight-year hiatus with the release of their highly anticipated fourth studio album. Ask That God.
“This body of work represents the biggest shift in consciousness our world has ever seen, and that's reflected in the music,” says Littlemore. Ask That God takes listeners on a holistic musical adventure where fantasy and reality blur and the surreal reigns supreme.
“We are nothing more than conduits, gathering experience and finding what the Empire is meant to find,” Emperor Steele explains. “We know these songs have wings and once released, they will fly and find a home with all kinds of souls across the planet.”
The album, which follows from 2016 Two vinesfeatures recently released singles 'Cherry Blossom', 'Changes', 'Music On The Radio' and their latest single, 'The Feeling You Get'.
“Sometimes you don't know what it is, you don't know what you're doing or why you're doing it… it's just the feeling you get,” Steele says of the new track. “It's like a nostalgic '80s British pop anthem that gets under your skin.”
Littlemore adds, “Songs can talk about words we can't find. This song speaks to the listener, to remind them that it's never too late to get out there and really have some experiences and make memories.”
The single is accompanied by a stunning music video directed by Michael Maxxis, who collaborated with award-winning new media artist AUJIK. Shot in the stunning landscapes of Thailand, the video takes viewers on an exciting journey into surreal realms.
