Flume Teams With Emma Louise for New Collaborative Album, ‘DUMB'
Grammy-winning Australian electronic musician Flume (a.k.a. Harley Streten) has joined forces with multi-hyphenate artist Emma Louise to craft a new collaborative album, DUMB. The forthcoming record is set for release on Aug. 22, with its release being previewed by way of the first single, 'Easy Goodbye.'

'Growing up undiagnosed neurodivergent, I often felt dumb—struggling at school, forgetting things, silencing myself to fit in. In the studio, whenever we got stuck, Harley and I would laugh and say 'make it dumb' to stop overthinking. It worked every time. 'At first, naming the album DUMB felt irreverent and freeing, but later I realised how deeply it connected to my own fear of being seen as stupid and unworthy,' she continued. 'This album is me reclaiming that word, letting go of shame, and promising myself I'll never abandon my voice again.' Louise first rose to fame in 2011 with her debut single 'Jungle,' which received airplay thanks to Australian radio station triple j's Unearthed platform, which uncovers unsigned talent. That same year, Flume uploaded his first songs to the same platform, with his self-titled 2013 debut winning three of his eight nominations at that year's ARIA Awards – which also saw Louise nominated for best female artist. While Flume would hit No. 8 on the Billboard 200 with 2016's Skin (which also saw him win best dance/electronic album at the 2017 Grammys), the pair would not work together formally until 2022, when Louise appeared on the track 'Hollow' from Flume's Palaces LP. Flume ended a two-year musical hiatus in May, releasing the We Live in a Society EP with JPEGMafia, and is currently working on his fourth studio album. Louise, meanwhile, has not released a full studio album 2018's Lilac Everything, though she has collaborated with the likes of Flight Facilities before her debut single received viral attention on TikTok.

Soccer Mommy Covers Pavement's ‘Gold Soundz' for ‘Like a Version'
Soccer Mommy (a.k.a. Sophie Allison) has shared a stellar rendition of Pavement's 'Gold Soundz' as part of her recent appearance on Like a Version, the long-running covers segment from Australian radio station triple j. Recorded during Allison's recent Australian tour in June, the two-song set began with a standard original, which in this case was 'Abigail,' the final single from Soccer Mommy's 2024 album Evergreen.

Hosting Gig By Chokeslamming Logan Paul Through His Desk The cover portion of the set saw Allison and her band turn their attention to 1994, sharing a bittersweet version of 'Gold Soundz' – the second single from Pavement's second LP, Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. 'I chose this song 'cause I love Pavement,' Allison said in a post-performance interview. 'I'm a huge Pavement fan. I've actually covered another Pavement song before, but I just always really liked this one and I thought it fit my voice nicely. 'I think it's just really catchy. It gets stuck in your head,' she added. 'It has a nice melody and nice guitar parts. I really like the jangliness of the guitars in this song. I think that's what drew me to it.' Indeed, Allison has certainly shown her love of Pavement in the past. In 2022, Soccer Mommy was invited to perform at Pavements 1933 to 2022, the indie rock outfit's New York City pop-up museum, where she shared covers of 'Here,' 'Gold Soundz,' and 'Spit on a Stranger.' The following year, Soccer Mommy's Karaoke Night EP featured covers of Taylor Swift, Slowdive, Sheryl Crow, and R.E.M., while opening with a recorded rendition of Pavement's 'Here.' 'I do love Pavement,' Allison continued. 'I really, really love Pavement. I first discovered Pavement when I was in high school, and that's kind of when I got really into them, and especially Slanted and Enchanted was my favorite album. But I've just always really liked them. 'It was one of those bands that I got into in high school and never grew out of, and particularly there's a little bit of a renaissance right now with them kind of touring again and doing stuff together. So I think that's why it's fresh in the mind.' Pavement have been sporadically active since their 2022 reunion, with a run of international tour dates taking place since. More recently, they've also been the subject of the aptly-titled Pavements, an experimental semi-fictional biopic directed by Alex Ross Perry which was officially released in June. For his part, Perry has expressed his love of Soccer Mommy's nascent cover, commenting on triple j's Instagram post of the track, 'I extremely support this.' Having first launched in 2004, the Like a Version series has gone from being a near-impromptu acoustic affair to featuring larger studio productions. Numerous artists have taken part over the past two decades, with the likes of Billie Eilish, Childish Gambino, Arctic Monkeys, and more reinventing classic tracks in the process.

Behind Soccer Mommy's cover of Pavement's 'Gold Soundz' for Like A Version
It's mind-bending to think about covering your favourite band from high school in any space, let alone in the Like A Version studio. Soccer Mommy has done just that with her take on Pavement's 'Gold Soundz'. "I first discovered Pavement when I was in high school and that's when I really got into them," she said. "Especially Slanted and Enchanted was my favourite album. I've just always really liked them, it's one of those bands that I got into in high school and just never grew out of. "Particularly there's a little bit of a renaissance right now with them kind of touring again and doing stuff together so I think that's why it's fresh in the mind." Soccer Mommy specifically chose 'Gold Soundz' because she felt it would sit nicely with her vocal style (it does!). She also found she didn't have to change too much with the song to fit it into the Soccer Mommy vibe. "I just wanted it to be a little bit lighter and janglier," she said. "And a little bit softer for me from the vocal point of view, because that's just how my voice is. I just wanted it to have a little bit more dreaminess, I guess." Mission accomplished – this really is like a wonderful dream. Posted 43m ago 43 minutes ago Thu 17 Jul 2025 at 10:30pm
