Say what? The title of Skin came about because Flume is also slightly weirded out by it. Sounds like: Odesza, RL Grime, Cashmere Cat.

Latest EP: Skin Companion EP, out November 2016 via Future Classic. You can still be very sick of a song years later if it’s overplayed enough. On the other side, his catapult remix of ‘Hyperparadise’ was a less pleasing rediscovery. Like an old loved item in your wardrobe that you rediscover, I was pleasantly reminded of Flume’s 2014 remix of Lorde ‘s ‘ Tennis Court ‘, matching his all-white ensemble. Kučka and Vince Staples brought some much-needed charm on stage during ‘Smoke and Retribution’. This is not to say the entire show was a letdown. They simply became perfect booby traps for the streams of people trying to delve deeper into the crowd. Granted this was Sidney Myer, but we weren’t seeing the MSO so I don’t know if this was really the concert to bring picnic sets to. Watch this video to get more of an insight into the concepts behind it.įlume is everyone’s gateway DJ now. And in saying all this, the visuals do fit with the experimental side of this album. Jonathan Zawada, the artist behind Skin, won the ARIA for Best Cover Art this year. On 28 November 2017, Flume was a presenter at the ARIA Music Awards of 2017. Flume helped Lorde produce the track 'The Louvre' on the New Zealander's second album. So seeing all the Flume merch (we get it, you like Flume) compounded by the skin-crawling graphics was a bit too much.īut seems like I’m in the minority. Melodrama was released on 16 June 2017 while Staples' Big Fish Theory was released the following week on 23 June 2017. Also, while the light show was stunning and some of the visuals were grabbing, the abstract fractal graphics of Skin gets my trypophobia spinning into overdrive (don’t Google “trypophobia” if you don’t want to be scarred for the rest of your life). Watching them fist pump to ‘Say It’ was uncomfortable and strange.Ĭall me contemptuous, but it makes me shudder. Those groups of bros each holding four beer cans stacked on top of one another Being confronted with your own basicness is a scary moment.ģ. I’ve never felt so out of place wearing the same thing as everyone else. Skirts, jackets, pants, paired, of course, with Stan Smiths. The uniform for attending an outdoor Flume concert is officially denim on denim. Just check the hashtag #Flume on Instagram for the multitude of selfies and captions featuring pink love heart emojis. There was no shortage of screaming fangirls and boys. Fans who are fucking excited about their bae Flume

Here are 5 types of people you can expect to see at a Flume concert.ġ. Read the 10 types of people we met at Alison Wonderland’s Wonderland Warehouse Project. But from the crowd, to the visuals, to Flume’s dance moves, the cringe-factor was unfortunately high. It’s a good thing Flume is one amazing producer because his world tour stop at Sidney Myer Music Bowl was, in one word, a bit cheesey.Ĭoming back from the starkly different Meredith Music Festival just a few days ago made the whole intense light show and audience demographic a lot more pronounced than it may have normally been.
