Here we are… Just as RÜFÜS are ready to draw the curtain on the masterpiece that is ‘Bloom’, they have but one surprise left in their third official single Say A Prayer For Me.
SAPFM is a true standout from ‘Bloom’. Where ‘You Were Right’ brought back the RÜFÜS you loved, ‘Like An Animal’ showed their capability for musical evolution, and ‘Innerbloom’ provided an avenue for pure creative genius; SAPFM shows something all together different, and potentially much more powerful.
While SAPFM is undeniably RÜFÜS, it is a new kind of RÜFÜS. It’s the RÜFÜS that headlined Falls this year. It’s the RÜFÜS that will play a killer slot on the 2016 Coachella. It is RÜFÜS 2016, and it’s about as good as it gets.
As we roll ever closer to this remarkable body of work ‘Bloom’, Sweat It Out has also announced that they have partnered up with Foreign Family Collective (the label owned and curated by Odesza) for the release of both Say A Prayer For Me and ‘Bloom’ in the USA. .
Odesza’s Harrison Mills explains, “When an opportunity arose to work with RÜFÜS (DU SOL) on releasing a track through our label Foreign Family Collective, we sprung at the idea. They sent us the album to check out and we were blown away. Up until this point, FFC had only released singles. After hearing Bloom in its entirety, we knew we had to break that mould and put out the complete album. It’s one of the best albums we’ve come across in the last decade and we couldn’t be prouder to give it a home at Foreign Family Collective.”
We’ll leave the final word to Jon from the band: “We were having so much fun touring North America with Odesza and the FFC team in November. They really looked after us and one night they asked us to play our album demos for them and the FFC signing came from there. It feels right to be working with a family orientated indie-label in North America, it’s a similar set up to what we have in Australia with Sweat It Out, all the artists there being friends and helping out.”
