RÜFÜS DU SOL returned to the triple j studios last week to perform an electronic infused, gripping interpretation of Nirvana's classic track Something In The Way for Like A Version.
The band were joined by a string quartet and remade the song in their own image, one that featured growing tension building synth lines and a house inspired, four to the four electronic percussion section.
On the decision to cover the track the trio stated, "I think this song has such a raw emotionality to it. It’s very naked and vulnerable, and that felt really interesting for us to rip apart and explore and see how we could put our own electronic spin on it."
The cover is the group's first Like A Version in over eight years, previously covering Foals' My Number and Booka Shade's Charlotte in 2014.
While in the studio, the band also performed their original track I Don't Wanna Leave taken from their 2021, ARIA topping album Surrender. The album has gone on to achieve over 60 million Australian streams and features Platinum singled On My Knees alongside hits Alive and Next To Me.
RÜFÜS DU SOL are currently on the Australian leg of their worldwide Surrender Tour, selling a whopping 160,000 tickets in their home country and New Zealand. Forthcoming shows remain in Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth following huge performances in Brisbane and Sydney. You can check out the full tour dates below.
