Background and release

The album was recorded and mixed by Peter Mayes at Soundworks Music Studio in Sydney at various times throughout 2007, with additional recording by Chris Vallejo at Linear Recording, also in Sydney.[1] According to EMI Music Australia's website, the painting of Steele and Littlemore that comprises the album artwork was based on the iconic film posters for Indiana Jones and Star Wars.[2]

Walking on a Dream debuted at number eight on the Australian Albums Chart and at number twenty-one on the UK Albums Chart.[3][4] The album has been certified double platinum in Australia and gold in the United Kingdom.[5][6]

The album's lead single, "Walking on a Dream", was released on 30 August 2008.[7] The video features Steele and Littlemore, wearing Oriental costumes and makeup, on location along the Bund in Shanghai, China on 21–27 July 2008, just prior to the 2008 Summer Olympics.[8][1]

The second single was "We Are the People", which was released on 20 September 2008.[9] The video for the song was shot in Mexico, and used the ancient Mexican festival Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) as its inspiration. Locations included the gardens of Sir Edward James at Las Pozas, Monterrey and García.[10]

Walking on a Dream received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 61, based on 19 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[11] Sophie Bruce from BBC Music raved that "[t]heir talent is undoubtable and this album sounds like an instant classic", noting that "[t]his is the sound of the Noughties—electro enough without being harsh, interesting without being over-cool, quirky without being weird."[22] Andrew Leahey from Allmusic called the album "eclectic" and wrote that the duo "find common ground between their stylistically disparate backgrounds, producing a number of songs filled with Steele's quirky pop melodies and Littlemore's hip dance sensibilities."[12] Blender's Tyler Gray stated that "[a]coustic guitar strummed in time with dance beats, tinny vocals and tons of slap-back reverb—it's like some magical pop formula concocted long ago by aboriginal Australian shamen and parceled out ever since to INXS, Midnight Oil, Outback Steakhouse jingle makers and now this turquoise-loving duo."[13] Martin Robinson of the NME heavily compared Empire of the Sun to MGMT, stating that "[t]he ludicrousness of 'We Are The People' and 'Walking On A Dream' doesn't stop them from being sensational. Both have sunshiny choruses which hook into your perineum and drag you upwards, with 'Walking On A Dream''s mantra of 'We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it' marking it as their 'Time To Pretend'."[17] Michael Cragg of musicOMH, however, felt that the album "offers little in the way of musical experimentation" and that "[m]ost of it sounds like a strange amalgam of Fleetwood Mac and MGMT, as if the latter had been transposed from the slightly grubby streets of Brooklyn to the beaches of Australia."[16]

Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone wrote that the duo "have lots of straightforward pop chops, but they prefer to get wonky with cheesetastic, Eighties-flavored keyboards and nonsense rhymes like 'Hotdog belt donut melt/Magpie knelt by itself'", adding that the album "sounds like Europop on Special K."[21] In a review for The Guardian, Dorian Lynskey commented, "At various points, Walking On a Dream resembles Prince, Mercury Rev, Angelo Badalamenti, Funkadelic and the Muppets, none of them at their best."[14] Andy Gill of The Independent opined that the songs "Walking on a Dream" and "We Are the People" "rather resemble The Beloved or Air, sharing with those duos the impression that the music just seems to have settled, like snow, around the melody."[15] The Observer critic Alex Denney opined that "the record settles upon a cooler hue, favouring minor-key shuffles that, at their best, sound like prime Bangles cuts, but tend towards pedestrian 1980s pop hackery at their worst."[18] Tyler Fisher of PopMatters referred to the music as a "mix of swirling analog synth, funky guitar, and basic drum beats all placed in a world of reverb that sounds like an ethereal, distant realm of sound."[20] Jason Treuen of Rolling Stone Australia described the album as "gorgeously plaintive electro-pop". He commented that "there's no denying Littlemore and Steele have touched on something beautiful and otherworldly here", but also noted that "the gold is harder to find in the record's hazy second half".[23] Pitchfork Media's Mike Orme expressed that "although Empire tries mightily, they collapse underneath too many ideas before the record is even half over."[19] Gillian Watson wrote for The Skinny that the album "emulates '70s and '80s excess" and that "[t]his lack of economy permeates the music itself, which lumbers one step shy of Daft Punk to land as dull, neutered MOR. Tacky drum beats and irritatingly nasal vocals compound the sense that this album is one that, while shooting for the heavens, utterly fails to transcend by dint of its clunky long-windedness."[24]
