Empire of the Sun isn’t just releasing music—they’re constructing worlds. Today marks the release of the digital deluxe edition of their critically acclaimed fourth LP, Ask That God, via EMI AUS/Capitol Records. And with it, fans are invited to step deeper into the kaleidoscope with two brand-new tracks: “Dark Secrets” and “Somebody’s Son” featuring the legendary Lindsey Buckingham.
These tracks are more than just additions—they’re expansions, each one offering a new dimension to the already vivid tapestry of “Ask That God.” From the soaring melodies of “Cherry Blossom” to the introspective pulse of “Changes,” this album has been a sonic journey since its release in July 2024. The new songs add fresh layers, proving once again that Empire of the Sun knows how to stretch the limits of imagination without breaking the thread that ties it all together.
On “Somebody’s Son,” Lindsey Buckingham reflects, “I’ve been both a fan and a friend of Empire of the Sun for many years. Luke and Nick are masters of the pop craft, as well as being great guys. I’m pleased to be a part of their new song.”
Lord Littlemore dives into the meaning behind the tracks: “These two new songs fit perfectly into the narrative of Ask That God. ‘Dark Secrets’ explores the unknown, while ‘Somebody’s Son’ adds a layer of intimacy, with Lindsey’s guitar weaving through the track like a thread of light.”
Emperor Steele adds his own perspective: “For us, this is about giving our loyal fans something extra—something with its own spirit. These songs belong to the Empire.”
And the numbers back it all up: With over 8 billion streams and 5.5 million albums sold globally, Empire of the Sun’s music continues to resonate, transcending borders and genres alike. Tracks like “The Feeling You Get” and “Two Voices” cement the group as not just artists, but architects of soundscapes that demand exploration.
The deluxe edition release isn’t the only headline, though. Fresh off tours in Australia and Mexico, the duo is gearing up to bring their immersive live experience stateside. Empire of the Sun will hit cities across the U.S., reminding everyone why their live shows are regarded as transformational events. With theatrical visuals, otherworldly costumes, and a sound that bridges fantasy and reality, these performances are as much art installations as they are concerts.
So, whether you’ve been riding the wave since “Walking on a Dream” or you’re discovering Empire of the Sun for the first time, the “Ask That God” deluxe edition is your invitation to dive deeper. Listen to the new tracks, grab your tickets, and prepare to lose yourself in a world where music and magic collide.
It’s not just an album. It’s not just a tour. It’s the Empire.
