This is strange, every other band that makes rather trippy songs like Daft Punk and stuff, people are bragging about smoking a blunt while listening to it. However, I've not yet encountered ONE person who did this on Empire of the sun songs. This for me proves the pureness of their music.
i think this is great stuff... i feel they will get more famous and popular in the future... great beat... "eary" early new melody... would be interessting how it sounds with a female voice...?!?!
I think this sounds like hes singing about his daughter .. i duno just a thought but he says about the tiger and his daughters called sunny tiger and at the start he says dragon lips or something and his wifes nickname is snappy dragon :) x love this song
i wouldnt say the 80's throwback is coming back if anything its probably gonna change soon cuz we are hitting a new decade and styles usually shange like every 10 years
it's not literally 80's, but it's definitely 80s inspired... Szokkoz is right, the 80s are coming back super hard. it's all about them synthesizers and drum machines baby.
There's an 80s tinge to their music, no doubt about that. But EOTS music is no more or less "inspired" by 80s electronica than current rockers are of 60s rock and I seldom hear that said about them. For mine it's a tad insulting as EOTS music is definitely a notch or two above most stuff from the 80s. Their stuff has more of a futuristic lush feel, could be because of better technology, equipment whatever. Regardless it makes most stuff from the 80s, if not all, sound second rate by comparison.

Seen about a million roads
I've done the bong to Tokyo
I've been a clone and had a little luck
Swam across the golden sea a certain price of levity
It brings us up and only makes us sleep
Television changing channels telling people wearing flannels
Culture shocking walkways to the shore
Even though I never know and even though I never know and even though I never want to

Yes, very 80's. I think music now is just being recycled. Nothing wrong with that. Also remind me a bit of China Crisis. Different. Like it a lot
