Tyrone was tinkering on this old upright piano that was in the control room, playing the piano piece that starts the song, and it just had this imperfect quality to it. It was the very first section of the song that’s where the sketch started. This was one of the first instances of us coming together in sync, in a very short jam this very cool piece of music came about.

Now, with Surrender out in the world today, the group have donated their time to go deep into their latest full-length record, discussing each track at length as they reveal what went into the songs that make up one of their most accomplished efforts to date. Feeling like a song inspired by the events of the pandemic, its deeply personal nature was soon complemented by the likes of the self-described “feel-good” track “Next to Me”, proving that the trio could commanded a musical versatility many could only dream of. In July of this year, RÜFÜS DU SOL emerged with their first new single in three years, the cathartic “Alive”. Having recently released their Live from Joshua Tree album just days before widespread lockdowns took hold, it was enough to tide fans over while the band themselves took their time to take stock of the world, before retreating inward to rely on music and their shared camaraderie to get them through. Releasing their last album by way of 2018’s Solace, RÜFÜS DU SOL found themselves in good stead, with the promotional and performance side of things taking them to stages around the world, and expanding their fanbase at every turn.īy the time that writing had begun for their fourth album, things were looking good, but unfortunately, a global pandemic soon took over.
