New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Following the release of their highly anticipated and critically acclaimed fourth LP, Ask That God,
Empire of the Sun is about to elevate the experience with a digital deluxe edition, released via EMI AUS/Capitol Records. The new edition of the album includes two brand-new, never-before-heard tracks "Dark Secrets" and "Somebody's Son" feat. Lindsey Buckingham.
These additional tracks further expand the kaleidoscopic world of Ask That God, a sonic adventure that has captivated fans since its release in July 2024. Known for their ability to blend fantasy and reality in the most vivid ways, Ask That God is a genre-defining album that continues to shape the musical landscape, winning over new fans worldwide with each passing day.
"Somebody's Son" collaborator Lindsey Buckingham says, "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, 'Somebody's Son.'" Emperor Steele adds, "It was nothing short of a dream to work alongside the legend Lindsey Buckingham. His guitar on 'Somebody's Son' creates such a beautiful backbone for this incredible song. We feel honoured to have worked with the master himself."
"These two new tracks fit perfectly into the narrative of Ask That God," says Lord Littlemore. "They're a reflection of our ever-evolving creative journey. 'Dark Secrets' explores the unknown and 'Somebody's Son' adds a layer of intimacy, with Lindsey Buckingham's guitar weaving through the track like a thread of light."
Emperor Steele mentions, "It's about pushing boundaries and offering something extra to our loyal fans. These songs have their own spirit and belong to the Empire."
The duo has already proven that their music can transcend borders, having amassed over 8 billion streams, and sold more than 5.5 million albums globally. With their sound evolving yet again, Ask That God continues to captivate listeners with tracks like "Cherry Blossom," "Changes," and "The
Feeling You Get." The
Deluxe Edition gives listeners even more of the immersive experience
