I don’t know what’s in the water down in Australia—aside from some crazy poisonous creatures like this and this and this—but someone needs to bottle it up and share it with the rest of humanity. As far as I can tell, every group to emerge from the land down under arrives with a superhuman ability to turn easy pop beats into hypercharged, gravity-defying megahits.

But even this undersells PNAU, the Sydney duo consisting of Empire of the Sun’s Nick Littlemore and high school compatriot Peter Mayes. Neo-disco and wrenching emotion tend to fall into mutually exclusive camps, but these boys stunningly blow apart this divide—one viewing of the “Unite Us” video had me questioning every law of dance pop I’ve taken for granted my whole life. US Tour dates can’t come soon enough.
