Rüfüs. Rüfüs Du Sol… whatever you call them, we love them. We loved ‘Atlas’ and we loved each of the singles lifted from it, including ‘Take Me’, which Qantas also loved once upon a time, using the track in one of their advertising campaigns.
So new music from the Sydney-based outfit is always welcomed with open arms.
They’re kicking off the next chapter of their musical being with ‘You Were Right’.
The track got its official premiere on Triple J on Thursday night ahead of its appearance at digital retail on Friday.
According to their label, it’s a “blend of Berlin’s winter cool” and “the sun-kissed euphoria of Sydney in the summertime”.
“We got home after being away for five months, we’d spent the last part of that locked up in this special little apartment in Friedrichshain that we turned into our studio,” explains Tyrone from the band. “But, it was so cold that we were rarely leaving the apartment.
“So coming home to summer in Sydney, being surrounded by the familiarity of everything that being home entails, we were suddenly approaching song writing in a different way, both technically and emotionally. We were able to unlock a different side to our writing.”
The release of album number two is fast approaching, with their peeps telling us we’ll be hearing details of its title and release date soon. In the meantime, check out ‘You Were Right’ below.

What’s the story with the Rüfüs Du Sol reference? Have I missed something? Good to have the boys back.

Hey Robert,
Apparently they hit a snag with their plans for US domination under the name ‘Rüfüs’ due to “trademark restrictions” in January last year. So here they’re known as Rüfüs and there they’re known as Rüfüs Du Sol.
Their Facebook page reflects this. :)

Thanks Damian, thought that that may be the case
