‘Rushing Back’ follows the release of ‘Let You Know’ feat. London Grammar, Quits, a collaborative EP with rapper Reo Cragun, as well as the much-lauded Hi This Is Flume mixtape and visualizer released earlier this year.
Recent critical praise:
“[On ‘Rushing Back’], the two drum up a contagious chemistry, as Vera Blue’s featherweight voice swiftly floats above,
below, and around Flume’s warping, bent production. It’s almost as though they’ve imagined the feeling of ‘rushing
back,’ but in audio form.”
- Consequence of Sound
“Hi This Is Flume is, both philosophically and sonically, an inflection point. Seventeen cohesive tracks nudge the needle on Streten’s
sound."
- Pitchfork
“Hi This Is Flume runs 38 minutes. It’ll be the best 38 minutes of your day, hands down.”
- Billboard
“The artist’s most fervently ambitious project to date”
- Hypebeast
“Hi This Is Flume (Mixtape) is a reinvigorating work of electronic music.”
- Mother Jones
“Every track [is] daring, distinct and worthy of a spin.”
- Cool Hunting
“Simply genius.”
- This Song Is Sick
Flume (born Harley Streten) rose to prominence as a teenager with his scene-starting self-titled debut in 2012. Featuring the
hits 'Holding On', 'On Top', 'Sleepless' and others, the album topped the ARIA charts, garnered four spots in triple j’s Hottest 100 and sold out a massive
Australian 40,000 cap tour. In the two years that followed, Flume established a name as a serious international contender thanks to his compelling live show (debuting at Coachella,
Lollapalooza and many others) and skillful remixes of high-profile acts including Lorde and Disclosure.
After a series of well-received collaborations (Lockjaw EP with Chet Faker [2014] and Some Minds with Andrew Wyatt [2015]), Flume released his second LP, Skin.
Launching with the blockbuster hit 'Never Be Like You' featuring Kai, and topping the ARIA Chart on release, the album reinforced Flume’s status as an inventive, boundary-pushing producer while simultaneously reaching huge new audiences around the world.
That year, Flume topped triple j’s Hottest 100, won seven ARIAs, an APRA Award for Songwriter of the Year and sold over 300,000 tickets
globally across a sold out 59 date world tour. He achieved platinum accreditation in multiple territories around the
world and took home his first Grammy Award for Best/Dance Electronic Album.
