File Under: Nick Littlemore/PNAU/Teenager/Amazinngess

http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/7885/empayar700hv5.png
Some dude called Nick Bittar just slapped sense out of me through an email (thanx for the wake up call) - there i was five days ago expressing my unbelief of peoples lack of knowledge of Nick Littlemore's (1/2 PNAU) ex duo band with Pip Brown (Ladyhawke) 'Teenager'... when I have missed a more recent project also involving him under the name 'The Empire Of The Sun' (the name reminds me of Kings Of Convenience for some reason + it sounds like a pop project Erlend Øye would be involved in) - there's only one song so far (+ a remix) but they're both just good enough to survive the overplay till EMI releases the album on October 4th 2008.




The video was shot recently in Shanghai, China.

Both (320kbps VBR) the original and the remix made my teeth melt, the lyrics stick to your brain like hard glue & the soft patting beat just screams wayfarers, top down and long drive by the beach at the early dawn!

Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream (Sam La More 12'' Remix)
Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream (Hong Kong Blondes Remix)

Bonus:
This Van She Tech remix came out of nowhere, I'm not sure how i feel about it!

Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream (Van She Tech Remix)

Funny thing, i'm going tanning in an hour n half (just perfect) my lazy ass friend decided to sleep and get some fat inflated beneath his skin instead of getting a golden shimmer... still, on the iPod already!

I just realized Empire Of The Sun is a pop-duo with Luke Steele(The Sleepy Jackson)!

Gotta be friends with Empire Of The Sun (late better than never).

Thank you so much for posting this, I've been seeing Empire of the Sun's name so much recently, but I didn't realize they were this great until now. The Van She remix is really intense too
