RÜFÜS DU SOL have debuted the music video for “Say A Prayer For Me”, the latest single off their sophomore album Bloom out now on ODESZA’s Foreign Family Collective. “Say A Prayer For Me” is one of the most emotive songs off Bloom, offering listeners a glimpse into RÜFÜS DU SOL’s poignant world while tugging on themes of sentimental wants and needs. The video sets an abstract, futuristic setting for the band’s unmistakable soundscape of melancholic yearning.

“A lot of the record was about being at home and then leaving that place that you know so well and are comfortable in. ‘Say A Prayer For Me,’ in particular, feeds off that feeling of what you would say to the people around you if you had to say goodbye to them for an indefinite amount of time, whether it’s a partner, a loved one or whoever…what would you say to that person?”

Architecture firm, Reiulf Ramstad was commissioned by a client of theirs who wanted a cabin for the whole family, but at the same time needed it to be divisible in some way. The solution was a cluster of three structures, which can be used individually. Each of the buildings is defined as a clarified geometric volume, organized around the outdoor area that binds them together as one unit.

Toward the northeast, a hill borders and defines the site, together with the view in the opposite direction. The spatial interaction between landscape and the structure creates a beneficial microclimate. This is reflected by the structures’ southwest orientation, where the gable end is glazed. In the other directions the buildings appear more closed.
