Ringo

About

Ringo was released on 26 May 2023 as the fifth single from Visions Volume 1, accompanied by an extended mix and official visualiser. Written and produced by Robbie Williams, Tim Metcalfe and Flynn Francis, the track marked a shift in tempo for Lufthaus, moving from the introspective tone of earlier singles to something darker and more rhythm-driven. Armada Music described it as a song that “pulls listeners deeper and deeper into the darkest depths of the underground.”

Powered by driving bass, layered synths and minimal vocals, Ringo unfolds as an instrumental statement of intent. The repeated vocal phrase—often interpreted by fans as “Gringo,” though never officially confirmed—adds a cryptic texture rather than a lyrical centre. The song’s sparse structure and brooding atmosphere reflect the trio’s admiration for Berlin’s deep-tech scene, blending industrial precision with a hypnotic groove designed for late-night club sets.

At two minutes and thirty-six seconds, Ringo is the shortest track on the album, functioning as a pulsating interlude between the more expansive songs on Visions Volume 1. Its rolling rhythm and progressive build make it a bridge between the reflective and the physical, a moment where Lufthaus fully embrace their dance roots.

Lean, propulsive and immersive, Ringo reveals the harder edge of the Lufthaus sound. Stripped of sentiment but rich in atmosphere, it brings a sense of movement and urgency to the otherwise introspective landscape of Visions Volume 1.
