![]() ![]() Take A Chance is another more commercial track, and is just signature Flume. You Know features Alan Kingdom and Raekwon is a melancholy, deeper cut from the album, and is another of the hip-hop influenced trap hits on the album, with brilliant vocal throughout.Īs we move into the last section of the album, we also move into the best, with the last couple of tracks being instantly memorable. Opening with the sounds of children playing, the simple yet emotional synth progression builds into an atmospheric, ethereal symphony which is one to remember, full of heart and emotion, another standout track from Flume. When Everything Was New is one of the most chill tracks on the album, but without question the most beautiful one. ![]() 3 is a cool, crisp blast of thumping electronica and classic Flume sounds. Smoke And Retribution sees Kucka return this time with Vince Staples who provides the second rap section of the album, previously released as a single, again this is a banger of a track with those massive drums and synths returning to create a hip hop, electronica infused cracker. Pika is probably one of the more filler tracks on the album, a bit more mellow than previous offerings, it’s still a nice track from the Australian. Wall Fuck sees Flume going back down the experimental route with a pounding, beat driven chaotic hit, what starts off very dark soon progresses into a epic glitchy banger.
