The Muse goes Down Under
I recently posted an Empire of the Sun track that stimulated my inner senses. I keep seeing more and more about Empire of the sun and decided to continue on that same route and do a post about one of the members former groups.
Nick Littlemore is one half of Empire of the Sun, but has been active for a while with bands such as the Killers, Ladyhawke, and a group composed of friends of Sir Elton John, named Pnau. This song by Australian electronic group Pnau I have been loving for a while. There’s something about a track with children singing on the chorus that I find ultra catchy… (think about the hook on D.A.N.C.E.)

On a similar note, why does Australia output such better movable indie music than the states? It’s like they inject nuwave synth in their morning yogurt. What the place may sometimes lack culturally, they more than compensate for with groups like The Presets, Midnight Juggernauts, Gameboy/Gamegirl, Cut Copy, the list goes on and on and on. Point in case:
