Empire of the Sun is an Australian electronic music duo formed in 2007, comprising Luke Steele of the alternative rock band The Sleepy Jackson, and Nick Littlemore of the electronic dance outfit Pnau. Known for their lavish stage presence and vibrant, surreal aesthetic, the duo swiftly carved out a unique space in the electronic music scene with their blend of synth-pop, rock, and dance music. Their breakthrough came with the release of their debut album "Walking On A Dream" in 2008, which spawned the hit singles "Walking on a Dream" and "We Are the People," both of which achieved international success and helped the duo gain a worldwide following.

Over the years, Empire of the Sun has continued to expand their discography and redefine their sound. Their subsequent albums, "Ice on the Dune" (2013) and "Two Vines" (2016), furthered their reputation for crafting infectious, anthem-like tracks layered with Steele's distinctive falsetto and Littlemore's production finesse. With a penchant for theatrical and visually enthralling performances, the duo has also garnered acclaim for their live shows. Hits like "High and Low," along with their visually immersive music videos and remixes, have solidified Empire of the Sun's standing as trailblazers in fusing music with art and spectacle. Their music continues to resonate with fans seeking a euphoric escape infused with the spirit of adventure and the dreamy allure of their otherworldly persona.
