Listener's Digest: Empire of the Sun - "Alive"


Subtle is not a word I would associate, even in the slightest, with Australia's Empire of the Sun. I mean, have you seen the trailer they released last month for their upcoming album Ice on the Dune?  Exactly. In keeping with that lack of subtly theme, the electro-pop twosome have released the first single from their sophomore LP, the first since 2008's Walking on a Dream, and naturally, the duo is aiming for summer mix-tape status or else on the tune. "Alive" is huge and soaring, culminating with an anthemic, shout-along chorus that could not scream "This is going to be the summer of our lives if it kills us" any louder if it tried. Stream the song below and see you if can't help but long for the weekend already on this Monday morning. Ice on the Dune will be released this June.
