After more than a decade of music-making, Durand Jones & The Indications have blossomed as a unit and are basking in their successes. On their aptly titled new album, Flowers, The Indications unfurl their true colors—embracing all their roots and influences, maturation and confidence, and share them with the world.
Since forming in 2012, the road has taken The Indications from those origins at Indiana University, Bloomington to the global stage, selling out shows across Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand to the West Coast—where DJI has a strong following among the lowrider and vintage soul enthusiasts.
For as far as Durand Jones & The Indications have come, Flowers grew from the desire to return to their roots in a Bloomington basement—a space where they first found camaraderie in gritty funk and Southern soul that would inspire their self-titled debut. Pulling sonically and spiritually from each of the group's previous releases and solo work, Flowers is the next stage of DJI's inspired soulful discography. DJI are not only accepting their flowers, but indulging in their sweet and sexy fragrance.
The album's lead single, "Been So Long," captures the essence of reunion and reflects the group's growth and experiences over the years. Much of the album was self-produced in a home studio in Chicago, emphasizing a natural and collaborative music-making process. “We took the spirit of play that started the project and added in the wisdom and lessons we’ve acquired through the years,” shared Frazer during a recent press statement.
As anticipation builds for Durand Jones & The Indications’ Flowers, fans can appreciate a narrative that’s rich in history, emotion, and growth. This forthcoming album reflects a collective maturity that speaks to both the complexities of life and the joy of shared experiences. Through their music, they invite listeners to embark on a journey filled with heartfelt moments and toe-tapping choruses that echo familiarity and progression.
In a world where musical landscapes are constantly shifting, Durand Jones & The Indications serve as a reminder of the beauty that lies in revisiting one's roots while embracing the future.
Flowers is set to release on June 27, 2025.
