Listen to Empire of the Sun’s New Song “High and Low”

Empire of the Sun have shared a new song, the latest from their forthcoming LP, Two Vines. “High and Low,” which you can hear below, premiered today on KROQ and Zane Lowe’s show on Beats 1. The album, out October 28 via Astralwerks, also features contributions from Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham, Wendy Melvoin (from Prince’s band the Revolution), and David Bowie’s Blackstar band members Henry Hey and Tim Lefebvre, on piano and bass respectively. Lord Nick Littlemore talked to Stereogum about the song:

It was about this girl I knew when I was a kid called Alice D who was kind of a wild child. She did all kinds of crazy things. There’s an Australian film called The Year My Voice Broke, I don’t know if you’re familiar with it, but there’s a girl in that that kind of lives a mysterious life. We wanted to write a song that captured the innocence and bravery of youth, and being a teenager, and having these kind of experiences where you throw caution to the wind and you try things for the first time.
