Just last week, Flume provided a new mix of a track on PinkPantheress’ To Hell With It remix edition. Now the Grammy-nominated Aussie producer has announced Palaces, his third studio album and first since 2016. Out on May 2oth, Palaces has comes equipped with some high-profile guests, including Caroline Polachek and Gorillaz leader Damon Albarn. There’s also a slew of fast-rising vocalists on board like Oklau, May-A, Kučka, Virgen Maria, Emma Louise, and Laurel.
Most notably, May-A, a fellow Australia, appears on the lead single, “Say Nothing,” and it’s a kick-ass track. Flume’s drum pacing wraps you in immediately before the vocalist delivers vibes. “This song is about feelings of post relationship clarity,” Flume said in a statement. “We wrote the song midway through 2020 while the pandemic was still pretty new. I was really excited about the initial idea but it was only once I got back to Australia in early 2021 and linked up in the studio with MAY-A that the song really came to life.”
Flume is also set to play at Coachella, Governor’s Ball, and Bonnaroo this year.
