In an AMA on Reddit, he revealed that the production on Hi This Is Flume was far more difficult than on his previous records as there was "way more detail", though "the ideas flowed more easily on than Skin". While working on the mixtape, Flume felt that he needed to create a record with a more experimental sound in order to go "back to roots", and added that he changed his style because he was bored at doing "the same thing over and over" and "people copy ". After Skin touring responsibilities wrapped up in January 2018, he subsequently decided to keep a low public profile as he was "working so hard" that he started "to hate music touring" and "needed to live a normal life for a bit". He further released Skin Companion EP 1 in November of that year and Skin Companion EP 2 in February 2017, and also worked with Vince Staples and Lorde on their respective albums Big Fish Theory and Melodrama in June. Background and recording įollowing the release of his second album Skin in May 2016, Flume embarked on a world tour in support of the album for the rest of the year. The mixtape was nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, becoming Flume's second nomination for the category and third overall. The mixtape was released to positive reviews, with music critics complimenting its experimental style. An accompanying visual for the mixtape directed by Jonathan Zawada, who had also designed the artwork for Flume's album Skin, was released and premiered on YouTube on release day. A remix of Sophie's "Is It Cold in the Water?" from her 2018 album Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides by Flume and Eprom is also included. The mixtape is a more experimental record compared to Flume's previous work, and contains features from several of his favourite artists such as Slowthai, JPEGMafia and frequent collaborator Kučka, as well as guest production from HWLS, Sophie and Eprom. Flume began working on the album away from the public eye from 2017, following his commercially-successful album Skin and its world tour. Hi This Is Flume was announced on 19 March 2019, only days after Flume's documentary When Everything Was New was released to YouTube. The mixtape follows the release of Flume's Skin: The Remixes in 2017. It was released on 20 March 2019 by Future Classic. Hi This Is Flume is the first mixtape released by Australian electronic musician Flume.
