Australia electro-glam-pop / synth duo Empire of the Sun have dropped their new single “Cherry Blossom“, alongside a video.
The track features on their upcoming new album “Ask That God“, set to arrive on July 26th via Capitol. Pre-order your copy here.
Of the album, Lord Nick Littlemore said: “It has been a journey unlike any other that Empire Of The Sun has undertaken. 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.”
About the single, Emperor Steele explains: “This song is about seeing the majesty and beauty that lies before our very eyes. Making sure you don’t lose what is precious by taking it for granted. It’s essentially a love song, “our souls are sewing our fortune”….love is a traveller, it has no expiry date, it moves through the expanse of time, to far off places, through far off times.”
Lord Littlemore adds: “It’s about a feeling of newness and new life and new opportunity to bring goodness. If we change ourselves rather than changing the world, then we do change the world.”
