Listen to a conversation with Durand Jones, Aaron Frazer and Blake Rhein of the soul band Durand Jones and The Indications. They joined WFYI's Kyle Long for an in-depth discussion of their roots in Bloomington, Indiana and how projects including the IU Soul Revue and Charlie Patton's War brought the band together. The Indications' latest album is titled “Flowers”, and they'll be performing in Indianapolis on September 30 at the Hi-Fi Annex. Durand Jones and the Indications formed in Bloomington in 2012, while its members were studying at Indiana University. The band's sound was built around a mutual love for classic soul, funk and R&B. Their reputation spread beyond Bloomington in 2016, when Ohio's Colemine Records issued their debut album. The Indication's second album “American Love Call” was issued in 2019 and praised by critics for its lush arrangements and socially conscious lyrics, earning comparisons to The Impressions and The Delfonics. Two years later, their album “Private Space” debuted in the Top 10 of Billboard's Emerging Artists chart. Their latest album “Flowers” builds on the band's distinct blend of vintage soul sounds and contemporary production techniques. Since launching in Bloomington over a decade ago, The Indications have grown into an international force, racking up millions of streams online, and touring across North America and Europe.
