Empire of the Sun

I am putting my money behind Australia’s power pop band, Empire of the Sun to be the hottest act of 2009. Point.
Empire of the Sun consists of Luke Steele (Sleepy Jackson) and Nick Littlemore (Pnau), a fuckload of makeup, and French revolutionary meets Shanghai fashion. These guys are weird. Big time weird… weird in the Bowie Stardust kind of way. But goddamn they’re making respectable pop music.
“Walking on a Dream” is their debut single and MGMT should be very very nervous right now. This is real and the influence is obvious.
My vote for single of 2009.
