Empire Of The Sun's Peter Mayes has revealed the band are close to finishing work on their second album.
The producer spoke of his excitement about the band's second album. He revealed that after writing hundreds of new tracks, they now had a potential collection of tunes to serve as a follow up to their debut, Walking On A Dream.
"We've been working on the new Empire Of The Sun record since last November and I am so excited about that right now," the producer told in an interview. "We're getting towards the end of that now. It is sounding amazing. It's really big."
He also added: "We need a week to just digest it all. We've written over a hundred songs. We do right now have a great bunch of songs that could easily make up a really strong record."
"One of the tricks with Empire is to have a certain sense of timelessness. Not nostalgia for the sake of it, but a certain musicality," he said. "Those sort of feelings go beautifully with Nick's voice. It can be really futuristic, it can be anything. It's not just a dubstep record that's going to be cool for three months."
Empire Of The Sun released Walking On A Dream in 2008. It reaches double platinum in Australia and gold status in the UK.
