Alt-electro pioneers Empire Of The Sun welcome you into their garden of unearthly bliss as they return with their third studio album 'TWO VINES'. Through a waterfall of dreams, beyond the white light of an ice curtain lies a lush, green world where childlike innocence and ancient wisdom are one. Enter, Empirian pilgrims, the jungle paradise that marks the third incredible age of the Empire of the Sun...

"There was an image we talked about very early on with this record, before we wrote the title track, Two Vines, and that was this image of a modern city overtaken by jungle, almost like mother nature taking back the planet," says Lord Nick Littlemore, the co-pilot with Emperor Luke Steele of this fantastic vessel of electro-futurist sound and vision. "All the buildings will turn back to sand. All it will be is nature again. We wanted to make something that reflected the beauty of that."

Recorded in Hawaii and Los Angeles, 'TWO VINES' is co-produced by Empire Of The Sun and Peter Mayes (Sia, The Killers, Mika), alongside longtime collaborator Jonathan Sloan and it sees the creative circle expanding, with esteemed pianist/arranger Henry Hey and bassist Tim Lefebvre, from David Bowie's Blackstar band, featuring heavily on the album. Factor in Wendy Melvoin from Prince's Revolution and Fleetwood Mac's genius guitarist/vocalist Lindsey Buckingham, and the Empire's rainbow has never been so vast and colourful.
