This is the only Empires song that sounds like MGMT to me, and the more i listen to it the more sleepy jackson melodies i hear. Still Empires are the #1 shit ,but MGMT are right behind them.
I just can't describe this song with word...I can't get enough! The feeling is like every amazing song I've ever heard smashed into 195 seconds of pure musical genius...MIND=BLOWN!
Cancel orPost or Create a video response this song makes me think of a unicorn stabing me with its horn and me bleeding rainbows which we bathe in and grow wings from then fly into the sun but the wings melt and we fall into the ocean and dance with the weird sword fish head ladies...and i finally get laid...by a fish lady...and it was awsome.

When I listen to this stuff and look at the picture from this vid, i think to myself like... yeah, that could very much be true.. It's like they've seen our future and make u realize that u've seen it too.
@MrJennion Lol. First time i heard empire of the sun i thought "they sound like a slightly more drawn out MGMT". If there's lots of people making the comparison there's got to be a similarity.
yeah, there's a similarity of course. what annoyed me was that people were spamming EOTS videos with comments saying that these guys had copied MGMT. i can only really compare walking on a dream with electric feel, due to the flute-esque lead. apart from that and the heavy falsetto, i can't really see any other similarities that don't hold true for every band
@MrJennion Well what I think everyone means to say is that both MGMT and the MGMT inspired EotS both have a quirky tone in their music. After a while it is hard to say they sound at all a like though.
when you first heard of this band did MGMT come to mind? I heard walking on a dream, loved it and went looking through MGMT's album for it :D finally found them and felt a right prat when I noticed it was a different band
@TimoV16 I think you mean the brown hair guy? He vanished for a few months so Luke had to do 2 music videos without him, well they found him the other month, he'd been working with his other band but he's back now
Another strangely addictive song from the album ....started off not being that sure of this track .....the rest are mindblowing ........And now I have to play it ........very LOUDLY .......Great to vent by!!!!
gotta love when the two top comments have the same message
