Drummer of the band Andrew Banovich describes George Daniel (Drummer and Producer of The 1975) as 'one of my favourite musicians of all time' (The Music, 2023). Andrew states that what draws your attention the most is George's ability to play the 'bare minimum' (The Music, 2023) and still maintain 'the same idea throughout a song' (The Music, 2023). Andrew often asks himself ‘ Am I doing too much? Not enough? Am I playing a part that’s needed for this song?’ (The Music, 2023). Andrew does 'pay some homage to George' (The Music, 2023) in The Vanns (2023) song 'Checking Out' after being influenced by one of George's drum fills featured in The 1975's (2016) song 'She's American'.

Guitarist and vocalist of the band, Cameron Little expressed his opinions on The Shouting Matches (2013) song 'Seven Sisters' and their album 'Grownass Man' as 'so good' (The Music, 2023). Cameron mentions he loves the 'live-ness' (The Music, 2023) of the recordings and describes it like 'people in a room hashing it out, which is more like the approach we took to recording this record too'. (The Music, 2023). In an interview with Milky, lead singer Jimmy Vann described the recording process for their album 'Last Of Your Kind' as  'capturing a moment' (Milky, 2023). Whenever they captured the right vibe in the studio Jimmy said it was more about 'that live take was the one'. (Milky, 2023) rather than breaking down particular elements of the song.

I believe Kings Of Leon evidently had an influence on The Vanns latest album 'Last Of Your Kind'. During the time they had finished writing their song 'Haunted', they were listening to Kings Of Leon's album 'Because Of The Times'. This inspired them to replicate the "shaa" heard in the chorus of Kings Of Leon's (2007) song 'Fans' and incorporate it in towards the end of their song 'Haunted' (The Music, 2023). Jimmy Vann's (lead vocalist) shared 'You could say it's somewhat of a homage to one of my favourite bands of all time.' (The Music, 2023).

I believe SOPHIE is another artist who has had an influence on Flume's music. He described the music she was playing at one of her shows as 'Insane' (Readers Digest, 2022). He mentioned the specific bubbly sound design in her track 'LEMONADE' was one of the first things to catch his ear when hearing it for the first time (Readers Digest, 2022). Flume also mentioned ''I was just genuinely inspired by what I heard that night.'' (Readers Digest, 2022). Flume and SOPHIE met after her show and have now worked on a bunch of music together, including the track 'Voices' which was released in 2019 on 'Hi This Is Flume (Mixtape)'.

Flume describes 'Zodiac Sh*t' by Flying Lotus as "two songs in one". (Readers Digest, 2022). After hearing it for the first time, his reaction was "woah, a song doesn’t have to be one vibe all the way through; you can have two songs in one or have it evolve into something completely different." (Readers Digest, 2022). Flume mentions that he included a song with a key change on his newest record, he stated that  "I think that was influenced by listening to music like this." (Readers Digest, 2022). If you listen to 'Love Light' from Flume's 2022 album 'Palaces', it features a brief key change in the middle of the song.

Flume first heard "BTSTU" by Jai Paul (2011) while driving around late at night (Readers Digest, 2022). I describe the song as having a simple thumpy hip-hop beat with a harsh snare that is similarly featured in some of Flume's creations. In a posting by Reader's Digest, Flume mentions "It was a really influential song for me that shaped quite a bit of music I made after hearing it" (Flume, 2022).

Another song that's included in the 'the sound of existing' playlist is 'Blue Jay Way' by The Beatles (1967). Graham is described as an 'obsessive student of The Beatles song writing' (Sherburne, 2022). I believe quickly, quickly's (2021) song 'Shee' features a similar drum pattern to one of the many different patterns utilised in The Beatles. (1967). Blue Jay Way (Remastered 2009). On Magical Mystery Tour. Specifically at the 1:10 mark.

Nick Drake is one of the many artists featured in Graham Jonson's (quickly, quickly) personal Spotify playlist 'the sound of existing'. As mentioned in his interview with Pitchfork, he 'rhapsodizes about Nick Drake's guitar tone' (Sherburne, 2022). I believe this is evident in quickly, quickly's (2021) song 'Everything is Different (To Me)' which begins with a similar acoustic guitar tone.

In an interview with Pitchfork, Graham Jonson (quickly, quickly) mentions that after being introduced to Baauer's (2012) hit 'Harlem Shake' around the age of 11, his initial reaction was "This song is hard" (Sherburne, 2022). This led him to discover the large trap music community on the streaming service Soundcloud. Mr. Carmack, a trap/hip-hop producer was one of his initial sources of inspiration, which sparked an interest in him to start learning how to make music in GarageBand on his mum's laptop. (Sherburne, 2022).

I've had The Vanns on repeat since discovering their 2019 album 'Through The Walls'. I was immediately obsessed with their song 'Fake Friends'. The transitions and dynamics between each verse and chorus gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Additionally, their latest album 'Last Of Your Kind' has been on repeat since being released earlier this year. The vibe they created with their live takes when recording is impressive. They are definitely a band I'd love to work with in the future.

When I first started messing around with making music in high school, 'How to make music like Flume' was one of the first things I searched on YouTube. His sample selection, chord progressions, and use of vocal samples and granular synthesis have heavily influenced any type of music I have made since then. What I love most about his music is his ability to switch up a heavy non-melodic song straight into a beautifully constructed melodic breakdown.

I first came across quickly, quickly's 'Over Skies' EP back in 2018. I was immediately drawn in by his textured synths and swingy drum loops but his more recent productions have completely changed my goals for the music that I want to produce. His use of guitar, synths, piano, drums, and old tape recorders packaged with his lush, emotional chord progression and melodies has inspired me to start incorporating more external instruments and hardware into my productions.
