Australian synth-pop duo Empire Of The Sun sure know when to release their singles - bursting through the scorching heat with new number ‘High And Low’.
Full of the trademark grooves and highs that have made Empire Of The Sun such a beloved summertime force, the track is the first taken from their forthcoming third studio album ‘Two Vines’ - set for release on October 28th.
Speaking to Stereogum about the track, Lord (yes, Lord) Nick Littlemore of the duo said:
“It was about this girl I knew when I was a kid called Alice D who was kind of a wild child. She did all kinds of crazy things. There’s an Australian film called The Year My Voice Broke, I don’t know if you’re familiar with it, but there’s a girl in that that kind of lives a mysterious life. We wanted to write a song that captured the innocence and bravery of youth, and being a teenager, and having these kind of experiences where you throw caution to the wind and you try things for the first time.”
