Empire Of The Sun's Luke Steele and Daniel Johns of Silverchair have formed a new band, DREAMS.
Following a series of teasers on social media, the pair have today dropped the new project's debut single, No One Defeats Us. Discussing it, Johns said:
“No-One Defeats Us says lyrically what our goal is, it's a journey into our vision of the future. It's a very simple song, it has no chorus, it feels like a mantra. When Luke and I are making music, everything disappears and we become like teenage explorers, we go into our world, we are so brave when we are together, we try things that we might not try for other people.
This song is not really what people would expect from Luke and I, we’re not making super-complex music with lots of unusual chords this time. We are trying to paint this really intricate pulse. We find what resonates and try to make that pulse stronger.”
Steele also commented:
"Me and Dan excel and struggle on similar levels. We have so much passion and we are so ambitious. That song came from a time when we were beginning the band and we needed something deep. I wanted to build a gang - like a gang of the future. We want the band to be for the common man, the underdog, the homeless, the person who shows love to his neighbour."
DREAMS will make their live debut at Coachella festival next month.
