RÜFÜS DROP NEW SINGLE ‘SAY A PRAYER FOR ME’ + ANNOUNCE US LABEL DEAL + NEW ALBUM ‘BLOOM’ OUT NOW
With just one more sleep until their highly anticipated sophomore album Bloom hits the shelves, RÜFÜS have revealed their sharp new single, Say A Prayer For Me, and announced a sought-after spot on the Coachella 2016 lineup and an exciting new partnership with Foreign Family Collective in America.
Dive in and indulge in the luscious, moody soundscape that is Say A Prayer For Me, a standout single from the already critically acclaimed, Bloom. Nestled between previous singles You Were Right, Like an Animal and 9-minute pièce de résistance, Innerbloom, Say A Prayer For Me presents the most mature sound we’ve heard from RÜFÜS yet. In its entirety, Bloom reflects this evolution; a masterful example of indie house music done exactly right.
But what is good dance music without a killer live act to boot? RÜFÜS have got it covered – the Falls Festival headliners have just been announced as a part of the coveted Coachella lineup for 2016. Their success in North America continues to turn heads as RÜFÜS (or RÜFÜS Du Sol as they’re known over there) and Sweat It Out have this week announced their partnership with Foreign Family Collective (the label owned and curated by Odesza) for the release of both Say A Prayer For Me and Bloom in North America.
“We were having so much fun touring North America with Odesza and the Foreign Family Collective (FFC) team in November,” says Jon George (keyboards) of the partnership. “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.”
Bloom is set for release on January 22, 2016
