25 Most Anticipated Albums of Fall 2016

Empire of the Sun, Two Vines, October 28th

Okay so here’s the deal— Empire of the Sun is sort of like Daft Punk: Funky, synthy, poppy, catchy af, and a little flamboyant. There’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, it helps them stand out.

Two Vines is their third album. Their last album, Ice on the Dune, wasn’t received super duper well, so let’s hope that this next album will do a little better.

"Now we are running in a pack to the place you don’t know And I want you to know that I’ll always be around Down where the summer and the late nights last forever There’s a house on the hill and we can’t travel now Alice D, you’re on your way up Way up, way up I feel most times we’re high and low (high and low) If I had my way, never let you go (never let you go) I feel most times we’re high and low (high and low) If I had my way, never let you go (never let you go) -“High and Low”"

“High and Low” feels a little bit like “Walking on A Dream”, which is, of course, their biggest hit to date. If they can’t get over the slump of that last album, I’m worried we won’t see much more of EotS.
