Pnau is the fourth album by Australian dance music duo, Pnau. The album was released in 2007 on the independent record label etcetc in Australia and on the independent record label Pnau Records and Tapes on LP in the UK in 2009. The album peaked at 31 on the Australian albums chart and was featured at number 89 on the Triple J Hottest 100 Albums of All Time.
The album is considered significant for the band in several regards. Shortly after the album's release Elton John claimed the album to be the greatest record he had heard in ten years. Subsequently, Pnau was signed onto Elton's management, which resulted in their heavily publicized apprenticeship under the music icon.
Additionally, Pnau reunited Nick Littlemore with Luke Steele for the first time in nearly a decade for the album tracks "With You Forever" and "Freedom". According to Littlemore, the track "With You Forever" inspired the artists to collaborate on a side project, which finalized a year later into the highly successful electronic pop band Empire of the Sun.
The album also features Ladyhawke (who at the time of this album's release was only previously known for her collaboration with Nick Littlemore as part of the art rock duo Teenager), Feadz, Nick Yannikas of Lost Valentinos, and Michael De Francesco of Van She.
The track "Baby" proved extremely popular and was used on the soundtrack to the videogame Gran Turismo 5. It was subsequently sampled by French duo Faul & Wad Ad in their 2013 international hit "Changes". The song was credited as Faul and Wad Ad vs. Pnau.
