Flume just announced the release of a new album, Palaces. The first single, Say Nothing is already out now featuring May-A and a stunning music video.
It’s an incredible achievement to capture the free-spirited nature of electronic music and bring it to the mainstream. Flume, an Australian musician, DJ, and record producer, inspired people all over the world with hypnotic, abstract compositions like “Never Be Like You” and “You & Me.” Flume’s ability to create immersive soundscapes that revolve around the pursuit of creative freedom knows no bounds. He’s now preparing for the release of Palaces, an album heavily influenced by the beauty of Australian wildlife. Flume incorporates field recordings into the final master of his songs, making nature a recurring theme in the album’s audio and visual concept.
Damon Albarn, Caroline Polachek, KUCKA, LAUREL, MAY-A, Oklou, Virgen Maria, and Emma Louise are among the many collaborators on Palaces. The album’s goal is to use electronic dance music to bring the natural world’s magic and beauty to life. The Grammy Award-winning artist is also set to headline at major music festivals this year, such as Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Governors Ball.
Flume’s latest single, “Say Nothing,” is an eclectic mix of melodic pop and electronic music and a head-first dive into his vivid imagination. MAY-A, an up-and-coming singer who is already gaining a cult following at the age of 20, is featured in the song. She brings a grounded lyricism and emotional intensity to Flume’s iconic, hypnotizing soundscape that blends seamlessly. The visuals are mesmerizing with a hint of unease about the unknown, as if on a hallucinogenic trip. Allow MAY-seductive A’s melodies to guide you through hypnotic scenes of synchronized choreography, artistic set designs, and mind-bending projections, all of which are credited to creative director Jonathan Zawada.
Zawada and Flume are an unstoppable force, having collaborated on some of Flume’s most successful visuals, including the video for “The Difference.” They’ve developed a signature style of trippy electronic effects and vibrant cinematography that reflects Flume’s music’s vibrant atmosphere. With euphoric, bass-heavy beats that course through your veins and an addicting chorus, you are sure to become wrapped up in the free-flowing spirit of “Say Nothing.”
Flume will also play later this year at the famous Coachella festival that will mark its return in California after two years because of the pandemic.
