Last night (well, this morning, at about 1am) I discovered something amazing. This song is absolutely phenomenal. Empire of the Sun is a collaboration between Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore. Their first single, “Walking on a Dream”, was filmed appropriately in Shanghai, the setting for the novel and movie, Empire of the Sun. The music video features Steele and Littlemore on location in Shanghai, wearing oriental costumes and makeup. The video, shown on YouTube in high definition, was filmed on a Red camera, providing stunning colours and resolution.

Walkingonadream.com features the lyrics and a free downloadable remix by Sam La More, Nick Littlemore’s brother. This is the first single from their soon to be released debut album. Littlemore is also one half of Sydney electro duo Pnau. Steele is guitarist and vocalist for Perth band The Sleepy Jackson. The music video is directed by Josh Logue of Mathematics.
