Flume and Emma Louise have returned with “Shine, Glow, Glisten,” the second single from their upcoming collaborative album DUMB, due out August 22nd.
Flume serves up his signature cocktail of crystalline chaos while Louise’s haunting voice drifts through his labyrinthine production like smoke through a broken ventilation system. Invoking biblical temptation (“eat the apple,” “animal desire,” “pleasure paradise”) Louise’s lyrics point to a sort of horny mysticism that makes you wonder if she’s channeling a prophet or seducing one.
Meanwhile, Flume crafts distorted, claustrophobic trap beats that crackle with texture. The arrangement shifts and morphs with the restless energy of someone trying to tune a radio in a thunderstorm, never quite settling into predictable patterns. Between his hyperkinetic production and Louise’s ghostly detachment, the track is genuinely unnerving.
“Shine, Glow, Glisten” arrives alongside a trippy music video developed in collaboration with Flume’s longtime visual collaborator, Jonathan Zawada. You can check out the video below and stream the new single here.
