Flume is a pure and energetic Indie Pop/Rock-band from Enschede, the Netherlands. The band makes substantive, heartfelt and sunny pop songs, in which a driving rhythm section provides support for multi-layered guitar melodies and polyphonic vocals.

The moving, emotional and occasionally raw voice of guitarist and lead singer Dennis keeps the songs together, and merges in natural harmony, or every now and then in dynamic contrast, with the rich and soulful voice of Anna-Eva.

In their goal of creating beautiful, catchy, but also musically refreshing songs, Flume derives her inspiration from a wide range of heroes like Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Chris Martin (Coldplay), and Erlend Öye (The Whitest Boy Alive), but also draws upon historic legends like Jeff Buckley, John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix. These widespread musical roots of Flume make the band sound simultaneously fresh and authentic.

The band was formed in 2008, but a large part of the songs was conceived when Dennis, bass-player Mark and lead-guitarist Wilco started making and writing music together in early 2007. With the addition of Anna-Eva and drummer Richard they started performing as a full-fledged band under the name Eklektonaut in the summer of 2008. This name was changed to Flume in early 2009 while the band was recording their first demo.

Some of the songs that were recorded were already being played live for over two years, and can be heard on the band’s self-produced Wash Blood EP, which is available for free download from www.flume.nl.
