"Desert Night" was the second taste of Atlas, the 2013 debut album by Australian alternative dance outfit Rüfüs, and it came out on 21 June that year, following "Take Me" and landing a day after its video, directed by Katzki, went up. It's music for the drive home after the club as much as for the club itself, all melancholy glow and gentle momentum.
The reviewers who caught it heard that balance. Your EDM praised the way it lays wistful vocals across pads, horns and percussion until the genres blur into something emotional, and Ivan Zuniga at Ear Milk liked its smooth, danceable beat and the catchy indie pace running under the soft singing. It climbed as high as number 67 that month, and "Tonight" followed it as the next single.
