Empire Of The Sun Claim They Have 'Better Songs' Than Daft Punk

Empire of the Sun have claimed that their music is better than Daft Punk's, and that the French superstars simply have a better marketing team.

Speaking to NME at Sziget Festival in Hungary, Luke Steele, one half of Empire of the Sun, revealed that he believes their latest album 'Ice on the Drum' surpasses the quality of Daft Punk's super-selling 'Random Access Memories'.

He told the site:

"I was aware that Daft Punk were getting more press coverage than our record, but I wasn’t too concerned. 'Ice On The Dune' is filled with such great songs that it’ll hang around a lot longer than some of those other records that came out around the same time. They had a great marketing campaign, but we’ve got better songs."

Steele went on to say that his partner in crime Nick Littlemore - whom he didn't perform with - was working on their next record:

"Nick’s doing a lot of work for the next record in the studio while I tour this one. The idea is to combine the two, so that the next record is a bit quicker. The next album will be a prequel. It’s all about when you’re a kid and you’re discovering girls, sherbet, surfing, and getting drunk. It’s those first magical adventures you take."
