Empire of the Sun Shines With ‘Ask That God’ – Stream Now

Empire of the Sun are 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 greatest 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 imagination and reality blur and the surreal reigns supreme.

“We are nothing more than conduits, gathering experience and finding what is meant for the Empire to find,” explains Emperor Steele. “We know these songs have wings, and once they are released, they will fly and find a home with all kinds of souls all over the planet.”

The album, which follows on from 2016’s Two Vines, includes the 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 do or why you do it….it’s just the feeling you get,” says Steele of the new track. “It’s like a nostalgic ’80s British pop anthem that gets under your skin.”

Littlemore adds, “Songs can speak for words we can’t find. This song speaks to the listener, to remind them it’s never too late to get out there and really have some experiences and make some memories.”

The single is accompanied by a visually stunning music video directed by Michael Maxxis, who collaborated with award-winning new media artist AUJIK. Filmed in the stunning landscapes of Thailand, the video takes viewers on an immersive journey into surreal realms.

Empire of the Sun have enjoyed significant success on Billboard’s charts over their career.

Their breakthrough single “Walking on a Dream” peaked at No. 65 on the Billboard Hot 100 (powered eight years after its release by a sync to a Honda Civic campaign); topped the Dance Club Songs chart; reached No. 3 on the Alternative Songs chart; and peaked at No. 40 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart.

Their single, “Alive,” achieved No. 1 on the Dance Club Songs chart, peaked at No. 13 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, and reached No. 26 on the Hot Rock Songs chart​.
