Music Trend - Australian Electronic Music
Australia is having a moment in music. I venture into stating the obvious because of the recent addition in the roaster of popular electronic music, Empire of The Sun, and by popular I mean the music most blogged about and played at parties. Their “Fantasy” look is a bit esoteric and a bit cosmic, a bit post-apocalyptic. It is great for these times, as is proven that during economic downturns people search for “meaning” and escapist entertainment. Maybe they are just emulating MGMT and this is the new look of hipstie bands. (Take note of the CD covers of all these bands). In any case their music is amazing and I love the “We are the people” video.
