4/1/2024 0 Comments Flume skinWhen you're aiming for so many features and playing with the risks that a sophomore album holds, you need to ensure that your final product stays a cut above Flume follows suit from the trends of 'Aa', 'Lantern', and 'Green Language' and produces a mixed bag of pop that shows an arguable maturity of sound, but not necessarily innovative or interesting progress. This is not to say that this album is mediocre, but if I'm being blunt, it's the epitome of average and safe. I have a strong feeling that many fans will just return to his debut the tracks quickly become drone-like in how they transition, with little interludes that tease you with actual progression just to be cut too short. Wall Fuck comes off as the only genuine highlight for me, with Free had it been expanded and Innocence had it been shortened coming behind it. It's more Flume without major innovation, and while that's fine with many people, I feel the album treads backwards in some previous sound design on his tracks, and feels tame to many releases even this early in the year. Off the assumption that 'Skin' is still the variety album that was intended, both instrumentals and features lack a good amount of flair, mostly due to the lackluster lyrics. That being said, I tried to listen to this album objectively and give it a couple of chances, but to me it comes off as a middling pop effort with little heart and bland experimentation. I'll admit, I'm not the greatest Flume fan and sometimes his fanbase rubs me the wrong way. Monthly Releases - please note that these are done fairly inconsistently due to low levels of activity!
