UK readers can stream the record exclusively on NoiseyAfter meeting in a bar in 2006, Pnau’s Nick Littlemore and The Sleepy Jackson’s Luke Steele realised they had chemistry (or something less trite) and decided to collaborate. A day later, they wrote their first record on the phone to each other and in 2008, their debut album Walking On A Dream was certified platinum in the US and Australia. They’ve been compared to everyone from MGMT to Fleetwood Mac and now they’re finally releasing a new album, which we're streaming exclusively. In celebration of Ice On The Dune (that’s the name of the album, BTW), we asked Empire of the Sun to unpick their record’s key ingredients: the influences, the equipment and the places that define it.
