Empire Of The Sun – “Two Vines”
The glamorous, theatrical Australian dance-poppers Empire Of The Sun announced earlier this week that they’ve got a new album called Two Vines coming out this fall, and they shared first single “High And Low.” Today, they’ve followed that one up by letting the world hear the album’s title track — which, it turns out, is about the jungle swallowing cities and nature reclaiming the planet, not about eight-second videos that you can watch on a loop on twitter. Like “High And Low,” this is a big, stirring anthem. It’s a little more guitar-based than most of the group’s work, and while it’s still pretty formulaic, it’s certainly effective. Listen to it below.
Two Vines is out 10/28 on Astralwerks.
