Luke Steele: High priest of The Church of Harmonology
Luke Steele, frontman of The Sleepy Jackson and ½ of electropopsters Empire of the Sun (you can now grab the second track from their forthcoming album at their website, BTW) is one of the more interesting characters in the Australian music scene. In addition to producing some of the more bizarre promo shots around, he also has a knack for writing some seriously mind-melting lyrics;
Don't always dream for what you want
But I love to watch good dancers talk
My heart is stronger than you all
But I love to watch good dancers talk
The war's good and I'm so tired
When you think with your mind you've got a place to go now
Okay... I'm stumped. Maybe 'watching good dancers talk' is a bit like 'looking a gift horse in the mouth' or something... hmmm, anyway. My remix attempts to release the darkness lurking in this sickly sweet song. I reckon it pretty much fails in that respect but something intriguing rose from the ashes. I like it. Have a listen.
