RÜFÜS DU SOL are feeling the pressure – kind of.
The Grammy-winning electronic trio have dropped “Pressure,” another taste of their forthcoming fifth studio album, Inhale / Exhale, which arrives next month.
Hailed as “an instant new anthem amidst the RÜFÜS discography,” “Pressure” is a defiant ode to the importance of perseverance. “You’ll never break me down, cause I can take the pressure,” Tyrone Lindqvist sings in the track.
“Pressure” follows previous album singles “Music Is Better,” “Lately,” and “Break My Love.” Listen to the new single below.
The trio’s single drop comes after they received four nominations for the 2024 ARIA Awards. RÜFÜS DU SOL earned nods for Best Group, Best Dance/Electronic Release (“Music Is Better”), Best Video (“Lately”), and Best Australian Live Act.
Inhale / Exhale represents a new chapter for the trio, with the group describing this era as one where they’re just enjoying the process and creating in the moment. The album promises to explore the emotional highs and lows that have defined their sound – love, heartache, and everything in between – wrapped up in their signature mix of organic and electronic sounds.
RÜFÜS DU SOL have topped the ARIA Albums Chart three times, with their albums Surrender (2021), Atlas (2013), and Bloom (2016) all debuting at #1. They’ve also earned five ARIA Awards, including Best Group and Best Dance Release for their hit single “Alive.”
Their global recognition was cemented when Surrender won the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording in 2022, making them the only Australian winners at that year’s ceremony. Following that success, the band hit the road for a massive world tour, selling over 700,000 tickets across 60 cities and headlining huge venues like Red Rocks and Hollywood Bowl.
The trio have been busy on the festival circuit, getting the party going at Coachella in 2024 and hosting their boutique Sundream Festival in Mexico. Next up, they’re headlining the Portola Festival in San Francisco on Saturday, September 28th, and in 2025, they’ll take the stage at all three South American editions of Lollapalooza as the only electronic headliners.
RÜFÜS DU SOL’s “Pressure” is out now. Inhale / Exhale is out October 11th via Rose Avenue / Reprise Records (pre-save/pre-order here).
