No, there’s no dancing swordfish women in this one. Also gone are the exotic backdrops and epic locales.
But Empire of the Sun’s newest music video for “Without You” is still a great one, and as always, a touch mental.
In it, lonely lead singer Luke Steele performs the group’s fourth single from debut album “Walking on a Dream,” joined by a hungry horse and some marble animals. Steele has already had quite the summer, featured most recently on Jay-Z’s “The Blueprint 3.” Despite the attention, he remains “unique” as ever, emperor of his own weird little world.

i miss the dancing swordfish.
not sure how this album can have four singles. yeah if absurd makeup and marble animals can’t strip a song of its genericness…
(_walking on a dream_ would have turned out better had it been 11 remixes of the title track)
while I’m at it: I nominate this album for cheesiest art!
