Solace
Rüfüs Du Sol’s Solace transports listeners to a serene, atmospheric space shaped by echoes and synthesized soundscapes. The ambient textures evoke vast, empty landscapes—like a rocky valley—where calm and introspection reign. This sense of expansive stillness inspires the redesign of Solace.
The original Solace album design features a vast space with winding sand dunes and clear blue skies, reflecting the music’s atmospheric and uplifting tone. The redesign maintains this minimal aesthetic using a neutral palette of creamy beiges and blues from the photography. Combining digital illustration with photography introduces abstraction, blurring dream and reality—mirroring the lead singer’s lyrics about drifting to a
new sky and reaching another place.
