This song will get stuck in your head fast - soon enough you’ll find yourself humming and head-bopping along or having a moment of deep introspection. The expansive and masterful composition calls to mind memories of Flume’s debut album, only a bit more restrained. Lockjaw opens with the cavernous “Drop the Game,” featuring Faker singing over an instrumental that was undeniably Flume’s work. With this EP, it seems that the work was split equally, blending together so organically, that all three songs would all work well if they were individual releases by either musician.
Many times when two artists work together, it’s easy for the listener to distinguish which components came from what artist.
To some, it may come as no surprise that these two artists have decided to work together again, combining their unique but complementary sounds to create the perfect collaboration. Flume is known for his knack for creating downtempo-cum-dance-cum hip-hop instrumentals, and in fact, he recently released a mixtape featuring many up and coming rappers laying vocals over his tracks. Those familiar with either artist may know Chet Faker for his minimalist yet soulful rendition of Blackstreet’s “No Diggity” and his work on a track off of Flume’s debut album. Labelmates, friends, and award-winning Australian electronic music pioneers Flume and Chet Faker have collaborated once more to create the three-song Lockjaw EP.
