Posted by LetsLoop on August 24, 2016, 12:56 pmHigh And Low is the lead single to Empire Of The Sun's upcoming 3rd album, Two Vines, which is out October 28th and follows up 2013's Ice On the Dune.
Two Vines was recorded in Hawaii and Los Angeles, and it was co-produced by Empire of the Sun and @Sia / @The Killers / @Mika producer Peter Mayes. It features contributions from @Fleetwood Mac lead guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, Wendy Melvoin (member of @Prince backing band, The Revolution), and pianist Henry Hey & bassist Tim Lefebvre, both members of the Blackstar band who recorded the final @David Bowie album.
Here's what Lord Nick Littlemore had to say about the new album:
"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. 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, and the wisdom that plants can give us about living harmoniously on this beautiful planet."
And Luke Steele added:
"Going to Hawaii to record was the best idea. That was the catalyst for me. I’d spend the morning surfing, then roll in and make music into the night."
