RUFUS Announce US Label Deal, Release New Single

Sydney trio RUFUS have big news for us, just days from releasing their second album, Bloom. Along with their third single from the new album, Say A Prayer For Me, the boys have unveiled that they have signed a deal with US label, Foreign Family Collective.

Known as RUFUS DU SOUL in North America, Odesza owns and curates Foreign Family Collective and will release Bloom — and RUFUS's new single — in the US.

Odesza's Harrison Mills says of the deal, "“When an opportunity arose to work with RÜFÜS (DU SOL) on releasing a track through our label Foreign Family Collective, we sprung at the idea. They sent us the album to check out and we were blown away. Up until this point, FFC had only released singles.

"After hearing Bloom in its entirety, we knew we had to break that mold and put out the complete album. It’s one of the best albums we’ve come across in the last decade and we couldn’t be prouder to give it a home at Foreign Family Collective."

RUFUS's Jon George says of the high praise, "We were having so much fun touring North American [sic] with Odesza and the FFC team in November. They really looked after us and one night they asked us to play our album demos for them and the FFC signing came from there.

"It feels right to be working with a family orientated indie-label in North America, it’s a similar set up to what we have in Australia with Sweat It Out, and all the artists there being friends and helping out."
