Empire of the Sun have announced a new album called Ask That God. It marks the Australian duo’s first LP since 2016’s Two Vines, and it arrives on July 26 via Capitol. It includes the previously shared single ‘Changes’, as well as a new track, ‘Music on the Radio’. Check out a video for it below.
“It has been a journey unlike any other that Empire Of The Sun has undertaken,” the group’s Lord Littlemore said in a statement. “We always ‘go there’ when it comes to exploration of both the self and the outside world. This body of work represents the greatest shift in consciousness our world has ever seen and that’s reflected in the music.”
“Ask That God is an album we searched for and were thankfully blessed with,” Emperor Steele added. “We are nothing more than conduits, gathering experience and finding what is meant for the Empire to find.”
Commenting on the new single, Steele shared: “To me this song is like a teenager rebelling against his imaginary emotions. It’s penned in only that unique way Lord Littlemore can bring words to life. The bass wraps it’s arms around you in some kind of hypnotic groove and you’re powerless to its charms.”
