Empire of the Sun consists of two weird guys with weird clothes doing weird pose in weird videos. But that doesn't mean you should think about MGMT, okay? Stop mentioning MGMT, people.Their coming second single We Are the People is way better than their hyped first single Walking on a Dream.
Though it has an acoustic intro, it's actually full of synth, so don't get scared off. What's so great is that dejected feeling of Luke Steele and the falsetto chorus.

Empire Of The Sun - We Are The People (Ted & Francis remix), a mix that is more downtempo and mellow.

My preliminary comment of the track. It is great, except for the ever repeating low-pitched "happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday.." through out the song. If you filter it out with your mind, you get those rich arrangement of unhurried synth, mild beat, scattered dreamy bit and occasional higher-pitched-echoy vocal that are more typical of Röyksopp. I hope they release a version with less "happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday... ", oh and without the 10 seconds mute at the end.
NEWS FROM THE FRONT!
After a year of silence and rumors, Röyksopp are finally back. The official site, facebook and myspace have all been updated, most importantly with a 40-second teaser mp3. It is really a teaser, as the only bit that starts to feel like OMG-YES-THIS-IS-RöYKSOPP is at the exact last second of the non-silence part.
The whole theme is "To celebrate the birthday of Röyksopp on 15th December" and they will release a full track named "Happy Birthday" on that day. Rumor was that the album was already ready in May 08, was EMI Norway intentionally pushing it back til now to match this gimmick? Or did the folding of Quart messed up the marketing campaign? Or that Röyksopp and EMI Norway had finally reached a compromise to release it before the whole world are too dirt poor to buy an album?
Other facts regarding the recent Röyksopp:
-Robyn confirmed that she sang on a track in the new Röyksopp album.
>>> http://www.nomusicmedia.com/2008/12/08/robyn-confirmed-for-the-enigma-that-is-royksopps-third-album/ (08th December 2008)
- Röyksopp played two new songs, I Wanna Know, Korene in a live show.
>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfCify50bEY (October 2007)
- The vocal in the live Korene was Lykke Li.
>>> As for this one, that's just what everyone was saying on the forums.
However, I found something related. http://www.nrk.no/lydverket/en-vat-lykke-li-drom/#more-6237 (11th December 2008)
At the bottom, it wrote "Röyksopps kommende album (mars 2009) "
The video on the article itself is titled, Lykke Li om livet, samarbeidet med Röyksopp og om Robyn. "samarbeidet med Röyksopp" means collaboration with Röyksopp, according to Google translation.
Something interesting about Youtube, searching "Royksopp Lykke Li" would give result you won't be getting with "Royksopp". This is ridiculous as it seems to be a superset but actually not. That would also means you would be missing something for sure, as you won't know what additional keywords you have to add.
Röyksopps終於有動靜喇，期待12月15號佢地會放首歌出黎
而家睇緊應該09年3月出碟．．．足足delay一年
