Flume: ‘Palaces,’ Respect for Damon Albarn, and Moving Back to Australia | Apple Music

Harley Streten, known to the world as Flume, sits down with Zane Lowe to discuss his third studio album, ‘Palaces.’ The album is deeply emotional, and Flume explains that one of his goals as an artist is creating dance music that is just as evocative as other genres. When Flume moved back home to Byron Bay, he rediscovered music in ways he never predicted. The album is aptly named ‘Palaces’ in reference to the home he built in Australia, where music comes easily. Flume recognizes and is inspired by the hard work of collaborators like Damon Albarn, Caroline Polachek, and more. Listen to Flume on Apple Music: apple.co/FlumeYT

Incredible artist, his sounds generate sensations that no artist of the genre can achieve. very much looking forward to your new album!

[@goininside]

hay muchos artistas que pueden lograr sensaciones no comunes, en la escena del bass sobretodo (flume pertenece a ella) la gracia de harley es que combina el sonido underground con tintes pop, añadiendo voces dulces y emocionantes.

thank you Zane!

yep, you're welcome

a thank you to you too FC!

[@WCchillin]

So now we know that the “motorcycle rider” character represents Nature as if it’s a big company and is promoting things to damage humans. Probably also explains all the business graph artwork from Zawada. What a cool concept!

[@conjo4030]

yep really cool to hear the meaning behind it. And cool to hear flume talk about nature in general cus its been clear the last few years hes obsessed with it, a bird being the cover of this new album and the Skin cover was a type of flower I believe.

[@lolitsajoke77]

I interpreted it as music was organic and the trees and birds and stuff and how it became about charts and numbers until he moved back to his “palace” of Australia.

[@harristhehub]

So glad y’all did this. He’s such a cool dude and the more I hear about how he does his stuff the more I realize how much has gone into this record.

[@Getthedog]

Flume is not afraid to try new things and take genres to new places, never confined by rules or boundaries, a true artist

zane: "this album is so deep and emotional, while the tracks are so deeply experimental just can't get away from what you're trying to say emotionally" flume: "it's so fun turning pianos into transformers-being-murdered-sounds!"

[@WinVault]

Is there an unedited full version? Would love to listen to it all!

[@alex-rh4mn]

is this the resurrection of steve jobs?

[@MattJoyce01]

Few artists have become a whole style of music, which keep changing. Bravo.

[@CvmL0rd]

Zane is a great interviewer loved this

[@lolitsajoke77]

He’s the best

[@1space.studio]

Amazing album. No idea it was inspired from nature in Byron, that's sick

[@lunychoonz4587]

Flume is absolutely, criminally underrated

[@MrCharlie066]

My only criticism for the album, is that it’s too short 😉

[@stephenphilippslfcfan]

He'd be beyond three albums now surely aha? Self titled, 2016 one and this one, surely there was another one in the last 6 years before then aha ah right is too. Thanks Zane
