That was a really magical and beautiful process for me. I was just singing things that I never thought of or planned before. I was also able to be influenced by the band. Everyone in the room together working it, making it happen, which was an amazing experience for me because I was able to really push the band in ways that I haven’t been able to before in the studio. I wanted to go into the studio and do all of the vocals with the band live. How did the process for this new album differ from your previous work?ĭurand: When I talked to Dead Oceans about doing a solo record, I had every intention of not going into the studio and doing exactly what I’ve done before with the Indications.

The vocalist thanked the crowd with sincerity for selling out their show.įor the encore, members traded instruments so that Frazer could take center stage to sing Penny & The Quarters’ “You And Me”, before Jones took the stage one more time to give an energetic performance of their upbeat groove, “Witchoo.” After which the room emptied out to ride the wave of the night’s performances into the warm air – and if the reaction to the evening’s music inside Cargo was any indication, uncomfortable future conversations with teenage children about a surprise younger sibling on the way may be inevitable. Jones’ movement across the stage contributed to the sensual infusion of sounds. The most vocal response from the crowd came during drummer Aaron Frazer’s falsetto-featured songs, with “Is It Any Wonder?” being the standout. The Indications’ talent as musicians is instantly recognizable, and their sound that captures a nostalgic soundtrack for lowrider car culture and Black honey-tinted soul vocal performances clearly attracted an audience made up fans of these cross sections. Jones walked out and demonstrated a flawless voice as the group played through a fair mix drawing from each of their three records, along with several covers featuring the group’s uniquely soul influence on the reworked songs, mostly notably may have been David Bowie’s “Young Americans” The five-piece band of The Indications took the stage to uproarious applause. But it was the sincerity of the moment that resonated the most, and that dancing and warm reception continued throughout the rest of La Doña’s set. The pop soul track seemed to connect with the entire crowd, igniting more movement on the dance floor.
