About Durand Jones & The Indications

Emerging from the fertile musical grounds of Bloomington, Indiana, Durand Jones & The Indications have rapidly ascended to become torchbearers of contemporary soul music. Formed in 2011, the band initially coalesced around the powerful falsetto and magnetic stage presence of lead singer Durand Jones. Drawing inspiration from the golden age of soul pioneers like Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, and Marvin Gaye, they infuse their sound with a potent blend of classic R&B sensibilities and a modern, gritty edge. Their debut album, “ktCap: Live From The Black Lodge” (2018), was a revelation, showcasing their raw talent and impressive musicianship, earning them widespread critical acclaim and a fervent fan base.

This was followed by their studio album, “American Love Call” (2019), which further solidified their position in the soul music landscape. Featuring hits like the anthemic “Smile” and the deeply personal “What Goes On,” the album demonstrated a remarkable evolution in their songwriting and production. Their latest offering, “Private Space” (2021), propelled them into even greater sonic territories, incorporating elements of funk, disco, and psychedelic soul, while still retaining their signature heartfelt core. Tracks such as the pulsating “Witchoo” and the introspective “The Devil Is In The Details” highlight their versatility and refusal to be confined by genre. Durand Jones’ vocal prowess, ranging from smooth crooning to passionate outpourings, is the undeniable focal point, supported by the tight, dynamic instrumentation of The Indications, who expertly weave together driving basslines, shimmering guitar riffs, and robust horn arrangements.
