Rüfüs Du Sol release debut live album and film
Today, Rüfüs Du Sol have released their anticipated debut film and live album, Rüfüs Du Sol: Live from Joshua Tree, worldwide. The 45-minute immersive experience captures the band’s powerful live energy set against a backdrop of fittingly captivating desert terrain.
The film opens as the sun sets over stunning rock formations, cascading into darkness with the trio surrounded by a sea of radiant light poles and endless vastness. Performing their acclaimed hits Solace, Underwater, and Innerbloom, the live project also features new track Valley of the Yuccas. With the film directed by Jon George’s brother Alex George, Live from Joshua Tree unearths a meaningful and personal body of work created for their dedicated fans around the globe.
“We just wanted to make something we could be proud of, something that you can watch alone on your couch in the afternoon, or with a group of friends before you go out, something that also wouldn’t be out of place on the TV at an afters where groups of friends and strangers are sharing stories from their night out,” explains the band’s drummer, James Hunt. “Ideally it’s something that helps create a sense of shared experience and friendship in that way.”
Amidst the release of their debut film and live album, Rüfüs Du Sol set out on another world tour across the Americas and Europe, with a brand new production. Following over a year of sold-out shows to half a million fans, the band will take to renowned venues and leading festival stages including Germania Insurance Amphitheatre in Austin, two nights at Red Rocks in August, and slots on Okeechobee, M3F, CRSSD, Corona Capital, Governors Ball, Melt Festival, Lollapalooza Paris, and more.
The Rüfüs Du Sol: Live from Joshua Tree album is out today and the Live from Joshua Tree film is now available to view on YouTube.
