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. Even with an aesthetic steeped in the golden strings-infused dreaminess of early '70s soul the Indications’ sophomore LP American Love Call is planted firmly in the present with the urgency of this moment in time.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. American Love Call the band's sophomore LP is instead the record the Indications dreamed of making fleshed out with strings backing vocals and a newfound confidence in songwriting.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."
