lay down, lovers
WHOLE is an AudioVisual Experience from RUM DO
Happy New Year!
2024 is here and we've got a bunch of content on the way for you, starting today.
Back in 2017 the debut EP from RUM DO, lay down, lovers [SS101] was our very first release here at Safe Sounds. The avant-garde pop duo released their third EP last year, You Just Have To Be.
WHOLE is a brand new video featuring the entire RUM DO discography with uncut visuals. It's perfect for ambient watching and listening... stick it on and let your mind wander across diverse landscapes, open your eyes for rushing colours and abstractions.
Ever since the start of the project, RUM DO's music has been released with abstract video. The final frame of one track always linked to the first frame of the next.
Finally WHOLE can now be experienced as it was always intended. The run time is 1 hour and 6 minutes.
I guess in some ways it's odd to mark the start of the new year with the death of a project. Harry Perry and Bill Cutbill will now focus on new musical ventures. After all, time is not infinite.
It feels fitting and romantic to wave goodbye to RUM DO in this moment. It's just the point from A to B.
With that, we place our feet firmly on the ground and start walking forward.
RUM DO ~ "an adjective meaning 'odd' or 'strange', and nothing to do with the drink rum."
