Empire of the Sun

I think this Australian eletropop group is decently well-known now; at least most people have heard of them.  They are a weird pair of dudes, apparently using over-the-top costumes not just in their music videos but also during live shows.  This song made the rounds a few years ago; it's pretty catchy.  Their style of music is very similar to MGMT in my opinion.  A lot of their earlier work is a bit too out there for my taste, and overly weird and ridiculous.  However, they released a new album last month which is quite a change in style and really excellent.  It sounds like a throwback 80s album, and I love it.  If you want to give it a listen you can actually stream the whole thing on youtube here.  See what you think.
