EOTS/ex-Sleepy Jackson man Luke Steele has the hook on The Blueprint 3‘s opening salvo “What We Talkin’ About” because Jay-Z loves his indie. On cue to capitalize on that leak, Luke’s released the fourth in a string of high-concept videos, this time taking the Empire out of the sun and going all-out post-Bowie on a set full of statues and feasts and iced blue hues.
It’s looking more and more like EOTS is down one Nick Littlemore; according to various reports he’s either in NYC working on the next PNAU record or just no longer in Empire. Or it could be both? We’ll see.
Walking On A Dream is out.

I hope Littlemore didn’t quit. :[ I don’t get how Without You relates to the other videos. I love how they remixed it. Hopefully they release this version.
This is absolute trash. Not only did they steal many of their songs from an Australian artist, they are not musicians. They are making ridiculous attempts to catch people’s eye by dressing like space bowie. They are gonna fade… fast.
This rules. You’re all just jealous of his naturally-shadowed eyes.
I cant decide if i hate or love this band.
i think its leaning more towards hate.
So…Leo Sayer is from Australia? Which artist are they ripping off?
horrible. everything about these guys is a rip-off.
This artist reminds me of Fischerspooner, which isn’t a good thing.
i think EOTS even looks more gay with out Nick.
their music was cool for a little while… now its just weird.
on the other hand i did like the Jay-Z/EOTS collabo…
sleepy jackson was better
Bowie did it better.

EOTS is already property of Explosions In The Sky. thanks.
Barf
I don’t buy it. This guy isn’t selling the persona, it comes up short and feels like a parody. The music is flat with no emotion, but maybe that’s what he was going for.
Did anyone notice that this version of “Without You” is different from the one on the CD? This is a lot more upbeat and better overall. Anyone know where to find it?
Kids today.
Seriously, if your knowledge of Bowie comes from “Labyrinth” and “Flight of the Conchords,” you’re missing the point. And the music, of course, is nothing like Bowie. It’s like a Howard Jones song, something buried on the third record (if there was one).
this is great excellent video empire of the sun is so original and luke steele performs very well in the video you can feel his pain in this song
It’s ‘bands’ like this which are to blame for the currently poor quality output of Australian pop music. Along with Sneaky Sound System, Potbelleez et al.
Banal and watered down…
C’mon Aussie, c’mon.
Joining the choir: I do not like this. This sort of glittery neo-glam-look annoys the hell out of me, and most of the bands who employ the look or sound I find dull and/or obnoxious… Wild Beasts often being an exception.
Very cool vid, very stylish. And I like this reworked audio version
i first heard this rendition on the J’s and been looking for this version of it,that’s what led me hear because it’s a sad but smooth song. I have to admit that i do prefer this version to the album . They are great band doing their thing keep it up EOTS.
does anyone know where i can find this version of “without you” – its one hell of an addictive remix. Empire have struck gold again.
absolutely LOVE this remix. has anyone got any idea where the heck i can buy it?
