MUSIC REVIEW: Atlas, by Rüfüs

<p>Call me biased, but I love Australian music. Especially indie records like Australian band Rüfüs’ debut album Atlas, which hit stores this week across the UK, after debuting at #1 in Australia last August.</p> <p>by Aaron Holloway | 3rd May 2014</p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4609319306.jpg" width="460" height="460" alt="" title=""/></p> <p></p><p>This Indie dance trio of Jon George, Tyrone Lindqvist and James Hunt from Byron Bay in New South Wales formed in 2010 and now offer a downbeat ambient dance album featuring mellow tones and especially catchy hooks. </p><p></p><p>From the moment the opening track Sundream kicked off, I was instantly attracted to the laid-back sound mixed with the high falsetto-vocals. The album works its way through to some dancier tracks, like Take Me and Tonight before going into full chill-out mode with Rendezvous. This is an album I could imagine being played at one of those funky-grungy warehouse dance parties in Berlin.</p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4609319305.jpg" width="460" height="306" alt="" title=""/></p> <p></p><p>This is an album that is right at home whether you’re listening to it as background music while you work, getting ready for a night out on the town, or chilling out on a Sunday afternoon after a big night out. If you’re like me, you’ll quickly find yourself humming and singing along with the tracks on this album. </p><p>For those of you who love the live vibe, Rüfüs will be touring the UK in September, dates and tickets available here: <a href="http://rufussounds.com/tagged/Tour">http://rufussounds.com/tagged/Tour</a> </p><p></p><p>Atlas is available now in all good record stores, and on iTunes.</p><p></p><p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/atlas/id811000896?uo=4&at=11luiF">BUY FROM ITUNES</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IAFVQNW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00IAFVQNW&linkCode=as2&tag=th052-21">BUY ON AMAZON</a></p><p></p><p>Find Rüfüs online at <a href="http://rufussounds.com/">http://rufussounds.com</a></p><p></p><p></p><p>ALSO READ:</p><p><a href="http://thegayuk.com/magazine/4574334751/MUSIC-REVIEW-Seven-by-Lisa-Stansfield/7391466">MUSIC REVIEW: Seven by Lisa Stansfield</a></p><p><a href="http://thegayuk.com/magazine/4574334751/MUSIC-REVIEW-Hard-Fi-Best-of-2004-2014/7400818">MUSIC REVIEW: Hard-Fi Best of 2004-2014</a></p><p><a href="http://thegayuk.com/magazine/4574334751/MUSIC-REVIEW-Born-Naked-RuPaul/8033152">MUSIC REVIEW: Born Naked, by RuPaul</a></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/the-gay-uk/id616631043?mt=8&uo=4&at=11luiF">Read this and other stories on our free app for iTunes</a></p><p></p><p><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hr.apps.n52474532">or for Android phones</a></p><p></p><p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/the-gay-uk/id770600575?mt=8&uo=4&at=11luiF">Download our latest edition of TheGayUK on your Apple Device</a></p><p></p><p><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.presspadapp.thegayuk">Download our latest edition of TheGayUK on your Android Device</a></p><p> </p>
