Pnau (stylised in all caps) are an Australian dance music trio originating from Sydney. The duo consists of the musicians Nick Littlemore (vocals, production) and Peter Mayes (guitar, production), with Littlemore's brother Sam as a third member from 2016 to 2024. Pnau first gained recognition through their 1999 debut album Sambanova, which later won an ARIA Music Awards for Best Dance Release. Their third album, Pnau (2007), brought them further critical acclaim and success. Pnau is also recognised for a heavily publicised apprenticeship under the musician Elton John, who signed the duo after listening to the Pnau album. Several of Pnau's later projects have had John's involvement, such as the 2011 album Soft Universe and an album of Pnau recreations of Elton John's hits called Good Morning to the Night, released in 2012. Apart from being a member of Pnau, Nick Littlemore also appears as one half of the project Empire of the Sun. In November 2016, the new line-up released "Chameleon", the first single from their album Changa.
