I've been listening to this album 1 or 2 times a day for the last couple weeks. Really can't get enough of it. Flume's self-titled Flume has a huge variety of sounds. The 2012 album ranges from chillout/chillwave to idm, a touch of hip hop, some bass music and experimental electronica. This is another album I've found this year that wasn't on my radar last year when it was released and should have probably been on my top albums of the year list. 20 year old Australian producer Flume (facebook, soundcloud) got his first taste for producing at age 13 from the most unlikely of places - a music production program he found in a cereal box. Can you say fate? I don't recall getting anything even close to that cool in a cereal box. (Insert jokes about how lame America is here.) At any rate, Flume has three videos so far, this first, features an excellent vocalist, also from Australia, named Chet Faker (facebook, soundcloud). Chet has one ep, Thinking in Textures, but has worked with numerous artists. Check out 'Let Alone' below.
The next track, 'Sleepless,' features female vocalist Jezzabell Doran (facebook, soundcloud).
The third track, 'More Than You Thought' has a mysterious and ancient feel to it. The video, mysterious as well, features what's been hailed as "The Infinity Prism" which just happens to be the name of Flume's current tour. Unfortunately, as of now, that tour will not be making it to the states. I'd love to see him at some point though! Check out the video below!
