Review
Well, well, well... look who's back from their cosmic vacation! Empire of the Sun's 'Ask That God' is like that friend who ghosted you for eight years and then shows up with a killer playlist and stories for days. This album is a glittery disco ball of nostalgia and newness, serving up a buffet of synth-pop goodness that'll have you dancing like it's 1985 and the future had a baby. From the hip-shaking 'Changes' to the underground rave vibes of 'Music on the Radio', Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore prove they haven't lost their touch - they've just been polishing it to a blinding shine.
But don't think it's all just party anthems and neon dreams. These Aussie maestros dig deep with tracks like 'Happy Like You', a heartfelt bop about finding your groove after the blues, and the title track 'Ask That God', which hits you with feels you didn't know you had. It's like they've taken their signature sound, tossed it in a blender with some disco balls, a dash of personal growth, and a sprinkle of Swedish songwriting magic. The result? A sonic smoothie that's both refreshing and familiar, proving that sometimes, the best comebacks are worth the wait. So grab your shiniest outfit and prepare for liftoff - Empire of the Sun is back, and they're here to soundtrack your next interstellar adventure. - Jenna
