Watch Flume and JPEGMAFIA’s Animated Clip Before New EP Drops

Flume and JPEGMAFIA’s collaboration on “Track 1” is a thrilling and unhinged return for both artists. This seven-minute track, the first glimpse of their upcoming EP We Live In A Society, expertly blends Flume’s meticulous production with JPEGMAFIA’s raw, confrontational energy. It’s a collision of electronic and hip-hop styles that promises something truly groundbreaking.

After a two-year break from releasing new music, Flume teams up once again with JPEGMAFIA, following their previous collaborations like “How to Build a Relationship” in 2019. “Track 1” is a bold departure from conventional music structures, as it weaves glitchy beats, experimental trap elements, and JPEGMAFIA’s abrasive, unapologetic vocals into a single, unpredictable experience. The track gradually builds, taking listeners through chaotic noise and fractured vocals before delivering a moment of melodic clarity with a bass drop at around 4:25 that hits like a sweet, hypnotic wave.

The animated video, directed by James Blagden, brings this eccentric track to life with a surreal and psychedelic visual journey. It captures the friendly tension between the artists, as JPEGMAFIA playfully roasts Flume’s production skills, even threatening to replace him with Fred again.. The animation is both absurd and humorous, adding an extra layer of personality to the collaboration.

“Track 1” is a perfect teaser for We Live In A Society, blending experimental sounds with playful visuals to create a unique, boundary-pushing moment in both artists’ careers. The chemistry between Flume’s sophisticated production and JPEGMAFIA’s bold energy shines through, offering a fresh, exciting sonic landscape that leaves fans eager for more.
