I’ve been really enjoying the Empire Of The Sun album, pretty much from start to finish. It’s funny that while I enjoyed some of the Sleepy Jackson material I found Luke Steeles vocals a little frustrating at times but in this “light dance” context I am warming to it.
Ted & Francis are a two piece out of Sydney recently signed to Kitsune. They are also known as Like Woah! and have done a bunch of original tracks and remixes in the past. Ted & Francis signals the start of a more relaxed, melodic pace for the duo with a track already available on the latest Kitsune 6, “I Wish I Was a Polar Bear (Arctic Urgency Edit)” which we spoke about here.
Expect to see an E.P. out at the end of the year and to hear plenty more from these guys on the remix front.
Empire Of The Sun - We Are The People (Ted & Francis remix)
Apart from Nick Littlemore of Pnau and Luke Steele this track also features Donnie Sloan, fast becoming the hardest working keyboardist in Australia with his involvement in Empire of the Sun, Ladyhawke, Sneaky Sound System and the latest Van She release. Holy shit!

Love the album. Got a very sweet sound to it. Haven’t listened to the remix but can only imagine it’ll sound just as sweet. Big thumbs up for this collaboration.
dont know, the first empire track i really enjoyed. but i think im leaning the other way, liked his vocals with guitars a bit better.
