Flume has shared a new song called “Sirens” featuring guest vocals by Caroline Polachek. It’s the latest single from the Australian musician’s forthcoming LP Palaces. The track was co-written and produced by Danny L Harle. Check out the track below.

Of the song’s lyrics, Polachek said in a statement: “I was living by myself in London, and it was the darkest time in the pandemic. I was really going through it, feeling so small, unable to control anything in the world, and the lyric ‘sirens’ was in reference to constant ambulances I was hearing.”

“Sirens” is Palaces’ second single, after “Say Nothing,” featuring May-A. The record follows the Grammy-nominated mixtape Hi This Is Flume and gets released on May 20.

Caroline Polachek recently pulled out of her opening slot on Dua Lipa’s tour after tearing her ankle last week. In February, she dropped “Billions,” a new collaboration with Danny L Harle.
