Walking On A Dream

This could end up being my favorite Siegfried and Roy inspired album cover of the year. Great pop album from Australia. For fans of MGMT who need a new favorite band. - Brad (Hollywood)
Check out this debut from Empire of the Sun, a collaboration between Luke Steele from The Sleepy Jackson and Pnau main-man Nick Littlemore. Though they occupy the same aural terrain as bands like MGMT, Empire of the Sun stand out due to their exceptional melodies and good humor.
