Background
[edit]Following the release of his Australian number one self-titled album in 2013, Flume has been on the road and providing remixes to a number of songs, including Lorde's "Tennis Court", Arcade Fire's "Afterlife", Disclosure's "You & Me" and Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down". Flume revealed in April 2015 that he'd just spent a few months in the studio "working on a bunch of new material," though he did not reveal any firm details on his awaited sophomore album. Whilst talking about "Some Minds", Flume said he presented his work-in-progress to Wyatt in New York City. "Andrew was writing things in his own head while I played the song over and over then after about an hour he jumped up and said 'stop' and launched into singing this amazing chorus melody. He was singing in gibberish into his phone, then fleshed out the lyrics of the chorus and verses. I finished it off with the crazy ending further down the line, a few months later."[2]
