Durand Jones & The Indications - Don't You Know b/w True Love (Transparent Baby Blue 7")
7"
Durand Jones & the Indications aren’t looking backwards.
Helmed by foil vocalists in Durand Jones and drummer Aaron
Frazer, the Indications conjure the dynamism of Jackie
Wilson, Curtis Mayfield, AND the Impressions.
The Indications’ 2016 self-titled debut was the product
of friends who met as students at Indiana University in
Bloomington, In., recorded for $452.11, including a case
of beer. After recently releaseing American Love Call,
the band’s sophomore LP and the record the Indications
dreamed of making, fleshed out with strings, backing vocals,
and a newfound confidence in songwriting, the Indications
have released this exclusive 7” while touring the recent
album release.
Blending a slew of influences from years spent crate-digging,
guitarist Blake Rhein says the Indications approach songs
in the same way hip-hop producers do, as likely to pull
inspiration from ‘70s folk-rock or classic R&B as they are
Nas’ Illmatic.
“Did I expect to do this shit once I got out of college? Hell
no,” Jones relays, laughing. “Totally not. But this is what God
is telling me to do – move and groove. So I’m gonna stay in
my lane.”
