Frequently asked
What artists sound like Flume?
The closest matches we measure are Black Sabbath, Foo Fighters, Kendrick Lamar. Artists are matched by how their catalogs actually move — average intensity, dynamic range, texture and shared mood — across 12 measured Flume songs, not by genre label or chart adjacency.
Which song should I start with?
Black Sabbath: “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” (90% feel-match); Foo Fighters: “This Is a Call” (89% feel-match); Kendrick Lamar: “Squabble Up” (89% feel-match). Each is that artist's single closest track to the Flume centre of gravity, so it's the least jarring way in.
How intense is Flume overall?
Across 12 measured songs, Flume averages 65/100 on our intensity scale. Individual songs vary — see the full catalog breakdown on their artist page.
How do you decide two artists are similar?
Every song is measured on 8 dimensions (intensity, dynamic range, tempo, sudden changes, texture, predictability, vocal force, fine sound detail). We compare an artist's catalogue centre of gravity to every other artist's, then weight shared mood tags. Matches cross genre and era, because the measurements don't know what genre is.
