Rufus Du Sol

The Last Goodbye is a lot gloomier than previous albums, a consistent theme in electronic music since the onset of the pandemic.

Read on for The Daily Californian’s coverage of — and superlatives for — some of the most exciting acts from this Halloweekend.

The final night of Outside Lands saw Kehlani, Rüfüs Du Sol and Tame Impala live up to the hype with some of the most arresting, ethereal and psychedelic headline performances worthy of top-billing.

To find a structure and genuine message within an electronic record is rare, and RÜFÜS DU SOL beautifully releases the seriousness of emotions onto the dance floor.

Rufus stopped in San Francisco as a part of its "Solace" world tour making a point to acknowledge that it had been the biggest show so far. The Australian-bred band played to hundreds as if it were playing to only a few.
