Is Nick Littlemore the most brilliant man in pop music right now?

Quite possibly.

Not content with being amazing in Pnau, Nick Littlemore is also completely incredible when he is one half of Empire Of The Sun.

Clearly working best in pairs, Empire Of The Sun sees Mr. Littlemore team up with another fellow Australian (in this case Luke Jackson of the not always brilliant Sleepy Jackson). They have just had a Top Ten hit in Australia with 'Walking On A Dream'.

There is obviously something to be said about the band's styling and image as well. That something is 'wow, they look amazing and a bit like superheroes or the kings of China or something'.

We wish the UK charts had less of boring old tat by Oasis and Boyzone, months old Rihanna album tracks and Katy Perry novelty songs and more music by Nick Littlemore. Every song of his we have ever heard has made us feel a bit funny in the stomach, and while Kings Of Leon make us feel funny in the stomach too, that's usually sorted with a quick trip to the loo.

Anyway, like Pnau, Empire of The Sun are completely brilliant (and we're sure you'll agree if you like warm, sunny electro tracks which will excite and possibly arouse). They are another reason why we Australian music is the greatest in the world right now and as far as we are aware coming nowhere near the UK anytime soon.

Check out Empire Of The Sun on MySpace here.

Alternatively, stay here and listen to 'Walking On A Dream'.
