After the successful release of his sophomore album, Skin, Aussie electronica artist Flume has already started making plans for his third album.
After headlining Splendour In The Grass, as well as playing the worlds biggest festivals such as Coachella and Lalapalooza, he is now bored of his sound.
Speaking to In The Mix, Flume has revealed he wants to work on his upcoming album by grabbing his surfboard and driving a van — fitted with a bed and a portable studio — around national forests and beaches and embracing the solitude.
He described Skin as breathing life into the digital world, but now he wants to do a full 180 and create a lo-fi sounds using actual world samples.
“Now that I’ve put Skin out, I’m like… awesome! I’ve done my big, grandiose, clean record, with lots of big sawtooth sounds,” he told In The Mix.
“Now I’m kind of bored of it, and I want to do lots of more sample-based stuff, like actual world sounds. So, like, maybe a vocal that’s been recorded and make it into a chord.”
“I kinda want to go a little more lo-fi, I guess. But that’s how it works – you get excited about one thing, then you go to the opposite for a bit.”
With Skin sounding familiar yet different to his debut album, we are excited to hear how his Into The Wild experience will shape his music.
