VIDEO PREMIERE: RUJEN YEARN FOR ESCAPE ON “NEW LIFE”
by Avery Shepherd (Immersive Atlanta)

”With its sparkling melodies and latticework approach to instrumentation, the new single from Rujen provides an immersive kaleidoscope of sounds that's easy to get lost in.”

FIRST LISTEN: RUJEN FIND HEART AND HEALING ON CINEMATIC ‘ELSEWHERE’ EP
by Guillermo Castro (Immersive Atlanta)

“In their finest moments—such as in the gorgeous, moonlit “Luna” and the dark and anxious title track—the group pair their lavish arrangements with weighty lyrics and melodies that point the way towards the EP’s steadily beating (albeit highly impressionistic) heart. It’s proof that the emerging five-piece can be much more than obsessive purveyors of mood. Instead, Elsewhere is both evocative and emotionally cathartic, a sterling introduction to a band who have been waiting in the wings for quite some time.”

RUJEN - “LUNA”
by Mike Mineo (Obscure Sound)

“All four tracks here show the band’s knack for rich soundscapes, from the nocturnal psych-rock feel of the self-titled track to the spacious retrospection of “NY”

RUJEN - ELSEWHERE
by My Nguyen (Divide & Conquer)

“In a word these soundscapes are simply magical. The music is iridescent riding on colors and sounds that is altogether awe-inspiring. There is a definitive glow to these tracks, a cohesive blend of harmonies and melodic guitar work.”
