Trendsetter is thrilled to be working with alternative dance group RÜFÜS DU SOL on the release of their latest video for their single “No Place.”
Watch here.
An emotive visual for an equally emotive song, the video portrays themes of transporting somewhere through the imaginative portals of one’s own mind. The subjects travel everywhere from surface of the infinite desert landscape to the rippling shores of a beach at sunset. These are only two destinations of the limitless possibilities where the ethereal single may transport its listeners.
“No Place” comes off of the Sydney natives’ highly anticipated upcoming album Solace, set for release this fall. The video release follows the announcement of the trio’s SOLACE Fall tour, which will hit iconic venues like House of Blues and New York’s Terminal 5.
In the words of the No Place video director Alex George, ‘In the video, the robes are a way of travel… through time and dimensions. We don’t know. It’s that feeling of when you’re at the beach and you’re rugged up in a towel with just the sun peeking through. There is something about that feeling. About being in yourself and being somewhere very specific. I think I’m only recently starting to understand real gratitude. It always felt like this feeling you had to feel when someone gives you something. But it snuck up on me. What that feeling actually is. That’s what the song is about to me. Realizing out of all the infinite possibilities and places you could be, you are here. And it’s great.’

Comprised of members Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George and James Hunt, RÜFÜS DU SOL occupy the intersection of entrancing indie music and intelligent electronica. It is through this seamless transcendence of styles that their own sonic realm has unfolded; a landscape painted with the club culture of yesteryear and a poignant yet infectious ability to be of the moment.
The band’s debut album, ATLAS, reached No. 1 on the Australian charts and reaped Platinum status – success that was repeated with its follow-up record, Bloom. Released in 2016, Bloom offered such infectious singles as “You Were Right” and “Innerbloom,” and launched RÜFÜS DU SOL on a two-year international tour, playing over 100 sold-out shows across 13 countries.
“The Australian trio knows how to set a mood, and sell it well,” noted Billboard while MTV tipped RÜFÜS DU SOL as “poised for the worldwide breakout.”
RÜFÜS DU SOL has spent the past year in Venice, CA, writing and recording its third album, which is largely influenced by the stark desert landscapes of California and the band’s experiences on the road.
“It feels like a new RÜFÜS,” the trio says. “We are inspired by our new home in California, by the people we’ve met and the music we’ve heard along the way. We’ve got a refreshed sense of ambition and cannot wait to share our creation with the world.”
