EMPIRE OF THE SUN’S 'ASK THAT GOD (REMIXES)' OUT TODAY

EMPIRE OF THE SUN’S ASK THAT GOD (REMIXES) OUT TODAY   U.S. LEG OF ASK THAT GOD TOUR KICKS OFF APRIL 23

The inimitable Empire of the Sun expand the world of Ask That God, their critically acclaimed fourth LP, with a six-track remix album, released today via EMI AUS/Capitol Records. Featuring the likes of Solomun, Adam Ten, Vintage Culture, LP Giobbi, DJ Tennis and more, the collection mines a rich vein of club-ready modern house and techno. Listen here.   Solomun, a master of modern techno, applies his characteristic depth and nuance to "Television." Packing the track with drama and late-night energy, he stretches out the anxious lyrics over honey-dipped vintage synthesizers and marching band snare drums. Listen here.   Brazilian producer/DJ Vintage Culture brings his unique touch to Ask That God fan favorite “Cherry Blossom,” amping up the original with massive kick drums and quivering synths. Adam Ten delivers a body-rocking take on “Music On The Radio," dialling down the disco elements and molding the track into a warehouse-ready slice of modern house. Boundary-breaking producer LP Giobbi brings a dramatic touch to the wistful “Happy Like You,” adding velvety layers and exhilarating beats.   Empire of the Sun continue their reign as one of the most dynamic live acts in modern music. After touring Australia and Mexico, they will launch the U.S. leg of their tour on April 23 at The Fillmore in Detroit. See below for itinerary. Click here for ticketing information.   With many shows already sold out, the band has added a trio of California dates, beginning with a night at Channel 24 in Sacramento (May 4). The Cercle Odyssey in Los Angeles will host Empire of the Sun on May 8. The band will perform at the center of the structure, which is the world’s first large-scale 360-degree immersive nomad concert installation of its kind. The concert will unfold like a living painting with videos reflecting humanity and nature projected onto the walls and ceiling, all synchronized live with the music. On May 10, Empire of the Sun will perform at the Just Like Heaven Festival at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.   The EU/UK leg of the tour will kick off on July 23 in Lisbon, Portugal. Today, the band announced the addition of a second show in Brussels – August 19. Tickets for this show will go on sale next Friday, April 11, here.

Following the release of Ask That God, Empire of the Sun elevated the experience with a digital deluxe edition, released in January via EMI AUS/Capitol Records. The new edition of the album includes two brand-new, never-before-heard tracks “Dark Secrets” and “Somebody’s Son” feat. Lindsey Buckingham. Listen here. Hailing “Somebody’s Son” as one of the best new dance tracks, Billboard said, “The song gives off Christine McVie vibes at their airy brightest, with the song essentially functioning as a hymn to California…” This Song Slaps noted, “these tracks are more than just additions—they’re expansions, each one offering a new dimension to the already vivid tapestry of ‘Ask That God.’”   The duo has already proven that their music can transcend borders, having amassed over eight billion streams, and sold more than 5.5 million albums globally. With timeless songwriting at the core of Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore’s ethos for the band, it's perhaps no surprise that as fans continue to discover the kaleidoscopic world of Ask That God, Empyrean classic “We Are The People” has arrived back into the global charts, smashing through 1.2 million daily streams earlier this month, a new high-water mark for the track – 17 years after the initial release. Check out We Are The People (Reimagined) here.   Track Listing – Ask That God (Remixes) 1.
