Blue (Rüfüs EP)
2012 EP by RÜFÜS DU SOL
Blue[4][5] is the second extended play (EP) by Australian alternative dance group RÜFÜS DU SOL. The EP was released independently on 6 April 2012. The EP peaked at number 325 on the ARIA Singles Chart on 28 May 2012.
Band member Tyrone Lindqvist said: "We sought to channel a kind of dark euphoria; moving from sun drenched Sunday afternoons, to sunsets and half forgotten nights." Band member Jon George said: "You'll hear a lot of experimentation with recording and mixing techniques; some more hi-tech than others... We recorded in the studio kitchen for echoed vocals and drums, used a 5 cent coin as a guitar pick for a more metallic sound, squeezed the hi-hats for the tightest sounding hats possible, its been super hands on."[6]
The EP was supported by "This Summer Tour" across April and May 2012 and "Blue Tour" across August 2012.[7]
The lead single "This Summer" received high rotation on Triple J. "Talk to Me" features on the Kitsuné Summer mix compilation.[8]
