Empire of the Sun are back - listen to ‘High and Low’

Empire of the Sun have announced a new album, ‘Two Vines’, and shared its first song.

The album follows 2013’s ‘Ice on the Dune’, and features Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac. It’s being previewed by a new track, ‘High and Low’.

Talking to Stereogum about the track, Nick Littlemore 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.”
