Walking on a Dream

Reissue of the debut album from Empire Of The Sun aka Luke Steele of The Sleepy Jackson and PNAU's Nick Littlemore. Kindred spirits bound by flamboyance and an odd idealism. Inspired by untold numbers of late nights and acid trips, at their indulgent best they strike a trenchant middle ground between fantasy and historical revisionism. Steele's big orchestras and Littlemore's whiz-bang saccharine samples both aspire to a grand sense of scale. (Pitchfork)
