Australia and You Don’t Hear That Every Day

Travel Tracks: Australia

Listening to “Go Bang” takes me back to the ’90s. The synthesizer-driven track comes with an almost hypnotizing video, which may cause you to wave your hands in the air inadvertently.

PNAU may not be well known outside of Australia, but one of the members of the trio from Sydney is part of a more famous band: Empire of the Sun. That duo has scored worldwide hits with “Walking on a Dream” and “Alive.”

Whether you know PNAU and Empire of the Sun or not, you have definitely heard of their most famous fan, Sir Elton John. John has been heavily involved in several records that PNAU have released.

Shuffle Surprise

Lucius takes us back to New York, which is where this quartet started out. I picked this live version of “Almost Makes Me Wish for Rain,” because it showcases the powerful voices of Jess and Holly. Just like their voices, their appearance is very much in sync as well.

If you like their performance, then definitely keep your eyes and ears peeled for Lucius’ upcoming release “Nudes” (March 2). The record will feature 10 acoustic songs, which the band recorded at the Electric Lady Studios in NYC.
