![]() Since Bloom came out, we’ve been able to see the world more. We started out just touring around Australia for the first four or five years. ![]() RÜFÜS DU SOL: It’s been really cool! It’s been interesting. It was a promise to treat people better, and there’s a sense of hope in that.įuturemag Music: You're currently touring internationally, with shows in the US at the moment and more planned for the UK and Europe later this year. We were focusing on making music and there was no sense of balance. ![]() We were almost neglecting that part of our lives. At the time that wasn't the calculated theme, but it became apparent quite quickly that it was an anthem for ourselves towards our friends, family and partners. RÜFÜS DU SOL: That one was more of a nostalgic and bittersweet ode. When I listen back now, it’s like a portal back to that point in time and whatever we were going through.įuturemag Music: Can you tell me about ‘Treat You Better’ and what inspired that one? The whole record feels like a snapshot, with each track portraying an insight to a different point during the writing process. There’re also some nostalgic points, and points of hope. We were neglecting our personal lives to work on music. We were just working day and night, and not giving our bodies any rest. It came out of a lyrical jam and the repeated triplet lyric, “I’m stuck underwater.” We realised that it was on point for where we were at, because it felt like we were stuck underwater and lost in this process. That’s where the theme for ‘Underwater’ came out of. RÜFÜS DU SOL: There’s a few different themes that kept coming up in terms of feeling submerged in something. Can you talk about how these developed during the writing process and what inspired this? That was definitely a newer approach for us, trying to embrace the light and the dark so we have the full spectrum of emotion.įuturemag Music: This maturity is certainly evident in Solace and it delves into some deeper themes and messages. We tried to channel that darkness rather than shy away from it. We felt like we were getting sucked into the vortex of it. We were working till 6am every day and it started to become really exhausting. It pretty quickly became an unhealthy process. ![]() We had all of these amazing synthesisers and toys, and we were working crazy hours. In the process of doing that we went over and set up a studio for ourselves. We wrote the most amount of songs we ever had for a record. As soon as we got back into it, we were just generating a lot of ideas. We had so many ideas and a million notes in our iPhones. After putting Bloom out and touring that for two years, we were so hungry to get back into the studio. Just from having written two albums we felt like we were much more capable producers. RÜFÜS DU SOL: With Solace we were able to take more of mature approach with the production and song writing. The album run has already seen them dominate sold-out performances at London’s Printworks, LA’s Shrine and New York City’s Terminal 5 three nights in a row, and is now heading towards their top billing return at this year’s Coachella Festival.Futuremag Music: Jumping straight into it, with Solace as your third album, how has your sound and approach to music changed over the last few years? The authenticity of the record has been felt far and wide in the live space as RÜFÜS have tantalized packed crowds around the globe on their SOLACE World Tour. Viewers are left with a sense of yearning for passionate support and self-care that continues to define the band’s personal and sonic development. Shot in Mexico City, the new music video features intimate scenes of subjects lost in their own emotions, subsequently reaching within and outwardly to find solace in that which brings them joy. ‘Treat You Better’ leads the melancholy, yet dance driven LP as a euphoric ode to both the band’s loved-ones and themselves, a calling out for heartfelt self-improvement. The video welcomes fans into the emotive world in which the album was written – one defined by honesty and introspection. This follows the announcement of their headline show at London’s Alexandra Palace later this year. Globally renowned live-electronic band RÜFÜS DU SOL has released a music video for their break-out track ‘Treat You Better’ off their ‘SOLACE’ LP out now via their own Rose Avenue imprint and Reprise Records.
