#FLUME ALBUM SKIN#
That inclination to push himself has been handsomely rewarded.Ěnnouncing announcing headline shows to celebrate the release of Skin in May,ğlume sold out allē00,000 tickets of his world headline tour, including more than 80,000 headline tickets inĚustralia alone. I thought, this is how the album’s going to sound.

“I hadn’t heard anything quite like that. “I thought, cool this sounds like it’s from the future’” says Streten. Then, stuck on what would become the clattering standout, ‘Numb and GettingĜolder’, he crushed together three completely different songs. I needed to do something bold.”Īfter slowly beginning work on Skin as far back as lateĒ013, Streten’s breakthrough came in mid-2015 when he shifted to LA for three months of solid work. Recorded in hotel rooms, aeroplanes, trains, taxis, and tour vans, and in locations as far-flung as LAX airport, a shack on the west coast of Mexico, a log cabin in rural Tasmania, a bus rattling towards Vegas, as well as studios in LA, New York, and his hometown of Sydney, Skin is “a grand expedition in trying to capture the biggest, most epic, powerful moments,” says the producer. “That definitely influenced the new stuff a lot.” “I wanted to keep the next album at a certain high energy,” says Streten of the writing process behind Skin. “It used to be just writing for myself but now there is an audience,” says Streten.Ě sizeable one.ěeyond millions of listeners and his own sold-out shows,ğlume’s live show has become a major draw at international festivals, includingĜoachella, Reading, Leeds, Pukkelpop,ěonnaroo, and drawingĔ0,000 to his slot at Rock en Seine in Paris. With good reason - its creation mirrors the complex rush of sensations that came with sudden success. Released in MayĒ016, the musician’s wildly eclectic follow-up is a meticulously crafted, vivid universe of big emotions woven into a densely cinematic whole. “Shock” plays a significant role onğlume’s often-outrageous second album, Skin. “I was just some quiet kid in high-school and all of a sudden I got dropped into the deep end. The same year the producer released an open-source sample series.“It was a crazy journey,” says Flume - aka 25-year old Australian producer Harley Streten - of hisĒ012 self-titled debut’s international success.

This is the third studio album from Flume, following on from the Best Dance/Electronic Album Grammy-nominated 'Hi This Is Flume', which landed in 2019. The record is now available for pre-order, and a new merchandise collection has been unveiled to mark the occassion. British music icon Damon Albarn also makes the credits, with a teaser video for the record unveiled last month featuring his inimitable voice. The LP includes guest appearances from a number of vocalists and collaborators, namely Caroline Polacheck, Vergen Maria, Oklou, and Kučka. Settling down in New South Wales, the spectacular scenery of the Northern Rivers region inspired the artist to write the latest addition to his back catalogue. Flume has announced a new album, 'Palaces', and shared the first single and video, 'Say Nothing', featuring MAY-A.Īrriving via the Transgressive and Future Classics labels on 20th May, the full-length was conceived after the producer left Los Angeles to return to his homeland, Australia.
