Durand Jones & The Indications American Love Call CD

Durand Jones & the Indications aren't looking backwards. Helmedßby foil vocalists in Durand Jones and drummer Aaron Frazer, theßIndications conjure the dynamism of Jackie Wilson, Curtis Mayfield,ßAND the Impressions. Even with an aesthetic steeped in the golden,ßstrings-infused dreaminess of early '70s soul, the Indications'ßsophomore LP, American Love Call, is planted firmly in the present,ßwith the urgency of this moment in time.ßThe Indications' 2016 self-titled debut was the product of friends whoßmet as students at Indiana University in Bloomington, In., recordedßfor $452.11, including a case of beer. American Love Call, the band'sßsophomore LP is instead the record the Indications dreamed ofßmaking, fleshed out with strings, backing vocals, and a newfoundßconfidence in songwriting.ßBlending a slew of influences from years spent crate-digging, guitaristßBlake Rhein says the Indications approach songs in the same way hip-hop producers do, as likely to pull inspiration from '70s folk-rock orßclassic R&B as they are Nas' Illmatic.ß"Did I expect to do this shit once I got out of college? Hell no," Jonesßrelays, laughing. "Totally not. But this is what God is telling me to do -ßmove and groove. So I'm gonna stay in my lane."
