Australian electropop stars Empire Of The Sun have premiered the first single from their upcoming second album, listen to 'Alive' below.
The track is taken from their upcoming album, Ice On The Dune. 'Alive' will be available on 15 April, 2013 and the new album will be released on 16 June 2013.
The track follows previous hits including 'Walking On A Dream' and 'We Are The People' in 2008 and 2009, and shares the same uplifting summer sounds of their previous hits. The track also sounds reminiscent of Empire Of The Sun duo Nick Littlemore and Peter Hayes' other musical project, Pnau.
The pair have reunited with vocalist Luke Steele of the Sleepy Jackson for the second Empire Of The Sun album, and will return to UK shores in August for a one-off festival headline performance at Wilderness Festival.
