Flume Recruits Caroline Polachek for New Single “Sirens”: Stream
Flume has teamed up with Caroline Polachek today on the new single “Sirens,” the latest preview of the Australian electronic artist’s forthcoming album Palaces. Co-written and co-produced with Polachek’s frequent collaborator Danny L Harle, this marks the longtime pals’ first musical release together. “Sirens” juxtaposes Polachek’s delicate, enchanting vocals with titillating industrial production.
