The song drops ahead of its fifth studio album
Grammy-winning live electronic trio Rufus Du Sol releases “Pressure,” from their highly-anticipated forthcoming fifth studio album Inhale/Exhale, out October 11th via Rose Avenue/Reprise Records.
“Pressure” is an instant new anthem amidst the Rufus discography, alluding to the band’s maturation heard on the upcoming full-length. Indulging in the immersive nature of Inhale/Exhale, “Pressure” is a standout with its complex synthwork and gripping lyricism. Surrounded by expansive melodies and sultry rhythms, Tyrone Lindqvist swirls a powerful tale of perseverance and resilience as he sings, “You’ll never break me down, ’cause I can take the pressure.”
The album will mark a new creative groove for the band, an era that is defined by enjoying the process and creating from the now while binding organic and electronic. The album encompasses the themes that have endeared fans for over a decade – romance, heartbreak, euphoria, despair – through a medley of sprawling, mature soundscapes.
“Pressure” arrives ahead of the electronic trio’s standalone live show this year, headlining the Portola Festival in San Francisco on September 28th. They’ll also return to festival stages next year as the only electronic headliner on all three South American editions of Lollapalooza 2025.
