Filmed in September 2019 in the heart of Joshua Tree National Park, California, “Live from Joshua Tree” is the first live album and concert film by Australian trio RÜFÜS DU SOL. Far from a club set, the performance is played live in the desert at sunset, without an audience, in a mineral landscape that mirrors the band’s electronic melancholy. Tyrone Lindqvist (vocals, guitar), Jon George (keyboards) and James Hunt (drums, machines) unfold an extended, organic reading of their songs, drawn from the albums Atlas, Bloom and Solace. The film moves through “Valley of the Yuccas,” “Eyes,” “New Sky,” “Desert Night,” “Underwater” and the climactic “Innerbloom,” through to “No Place.” This filmed live concert has become a landmark of the melodic electronic scene: a genuine live performance, played and sung live, best enjoyed from start to finish. Keywords: RÜFÜS DU SOL, Joshua Tree, 2019, live, filmed live concert, electronic.
