The Sydney, Australia-based electro pop trio RUFUS DU SOL, comprised of Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George and James Hunt quickly became international sensations — and over the course of a two year long international tour, developed a reputation for combining the DIY live aesthetics of indie rock with the euphoria of classic club culture. SOLACE’s second and latest single “Underwater” will further cement the Australian trio’s growing reputation for forward-thinking, boundary pushing production as the track is centered around arpeggiated and propulsive Giorgio Moroder-like synths, a soaring choral hook and verses that express an aching longing. And from the latest single, it shouldn’t be surprising that the act manages to walk a tightrope between arena and club rocking bombast with an earnest and intimate emotionality, as though the song is confession between the listener and the song’s narrator.
Tyrone Lindqvist’s soulful vocals soar over a minimal synth loop and crisp hi-hats, before long being submerged in a wall of synth stabs, vocal loops and booming percussion. The track switches between sounds bursting out at every angle to soft, ambient breakdowns with remarkable finesse, never once losing its grip on the listener. It’s a phenomenal dance tune but it also tells a story: ‘Underwater’ evokes the feeling of being overwhelmed, but fighting tooth and nail to catch your breath – and finally doing so.
