Last Sunday, Australian producer sensation Flume did us all a favor by taking home the Grammy award for best electronic/dance album for his sophomore album Skin. In the past year, Flume has quickly risen to prominence with his smash hit with Kai "Never Be Like You" and has continued to win fans over with his signature future bass style.
Back in November 2016, Flume released four tracks written during production of Skin as part of his Skin Companion EPI. Just days ago, Skin Companion EPII unveiled four new tracks and another sublime album cover. The EP explores different musical territories with each individual track, leaning towards an instrumental focus. "Enough" which features rapper Pusha T bears similarities to the more experimental soundscapes on Skin, but takes a darker, heavier twist with rap-influenced melody. "Weekend" is the softest track on the EP, with artist Moses Sumney bringing his calm, soul voice over quiet instrumentals. "Depth Charge", infused with blaring future synths, trip-hop essentials and bass beats, is the only completely instrumental track and my favorite track as well, speaking to Flume's ever-improving ability to maneuver the electronic landscape. "Fantastic" features Dave Bayley of Glass Animals and marries some classic Flume beats with Dave's psychedelic pop vibes.
