This has got to be my favorite song that they have made yet! Have you heard the house version? It doesnt sound half bad. Empire of the Sun-We Are the People Remix by Fievel
The only thing why people say EotS is a ripoff of MGMT is because it's two of them and the extravagant outfits. If they cared about actually LISTENING to both musicians they would realise that they have more differences than similarities
And Mercury Rev and Flaming Lips were around before them and both had Dave Fridmann at the helm (or indeed playing in them) who went on to produce Oracular Spectacular!!!!
It is impossible not to 'copy' a style inadvertently. I am a Photographer, I recently saw an image by a well known Photographer, a Portrait, it was nye on the same as one I had taken for a client...did he copy me? I dont think so, what happened was called a coincedence, or rather two people who had similar ideas, this is a big world with a lot of people in it, it is hard to be unique based on those facts alone, dont assume 'plagerism', accept that people will like the same things sometimes.
maybe ,for thoughs gensis who seems to think this band is a rip off, just maybe MGMT and this band sound the sam because they use the same kind genre in some of there songs(Psychedelic, or at least says wikipedia)
I hate people who when a song reminds them of a band they love, its immediately "a rip off". Just enjoy music. if its not your taste, whats the problem?. They aint a rip off. When I first heard them it reminded me of MGMT yeah, but a rip off, nah.
Someone explain the similarity to MGMT. Seriously. You REALLY need to start listening to more music is you think they do sound alike, because it means your knowledge and tastes are really fucking limited.
No they have the exact same vibe as MGMT. It's not a bad thing at all. They're both good bands who release good music so who cares about the comparison? MGMT have done well but lets see what Empire can do in the UK? They should be huge with any justice!
they have a completely different sound, different time signatures, different overall vibe. Empire are established musos, mgmt are a fluke. Better basslines, haven't been bled to death so hard on commercial radio and television also. Thats just my opinion tho
i dont get why there are no live performances uploaded on youtube. isnt that fucking weird?? i mean, it's not like these dudes are that rare. I don't get it. I think they just went gold in australia too! they played a tons of shows..WTF!!! I'm pissed!!!
cuando sale el video¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
I absolutely love this song and have played it like a hundred times. It's just a shame that this vid looks like it's going to be really similair to Walking On A Dream. Something different please!!!
Luke has changed Heaps since The Sleepy Jackson! It's like first he's in black, playing a guitar, now hes in blue, blonde hair and wearing... hell weird clothes. I dont know what happened
haha it was a big statement. they are no way near as relevant or anythin. i just feel the creation and direction of their music is somethin really fresh, in a time where everythin is just recycled. GO EPOTS!
haha ok ur beatles statement would be argued heaps! and MGMT are not as cool or as talented as littlemore and steele
I haven't had much experience with listening to pnau and littlemores music
however luke steele is one of my favourite artists and I have loved him since he was about 19 haha he's amazing and with those 2 minds combined they will go far
it's just a matter of whether we appreciate their music enough, they are amazing
I'm so excited. Here's to having more Empire flooding my TV screen, and pouring out of my speakers! :D I'm loving the outfits, too, can't wait to get a better look at them :D
Can some one explain to me what the video about ?

Cynical record company exec's see MGMT's success and find these two obnoxious self-absorbed arseholes to jump on the gravy train.

Except that Nick Littlemore (from Teenager and Pnau) and Luke Steele (from the Sleepy Jackson) have been around before MGMT even formed.
And I don't know about Littlemore, but Steele has always been this eccentric.
