Durand Jones & The Indications - Flowers

Flowers is a lush, soul-drenched triumph that showcases Durand Jones & The Indications' decade-long evolution into a confident, groove-heavy force. Born in a Bloomington basement and now global soul sensations, Durand Jones (vocals), Aaron Frazer (drums/vocals), and Blake Rhein (guitar) return to their roots with this self-produced gem, recorded with a raw, collaborative spark in Rhein’s Chicago studio.

The album’s nine tracks pulse with grown-and-sexy vibes, blending gritty Southern soul, disco’s shimmer, and funky basslines. “Been So Long” opens with the band’s warm harmonies, a heartfelt nod to hometown returns, while “Paradise” thumps with a seductive, Sade-inspired groove that begs for a late-night cruise. “Flower Moon” sways with Frazer’s silky falsetto, guiding listeners to a sweaty dancefloor, and “Really Wanna Be With You” pairs string-soaked disco with Jones’ raw, triumphant vocals, dancing through heartbreak with resilience.

Built on one-take demos, the record captures the band’s intuitive chemistry, balancing polished arrangements with the loose, playful spirit of their 2016 debut. Each track, from tender ballads to upbeat strutters, reflects personal growth—Jones confronting insecurities, Frazer and Rhein weaving in solo-project wisdom. Flowers is a testament to The Indications’ staying power, a must-have for soul fans and vinyl collectors craving music that’s as intimate as a whisper and as bold as a blooming garden, proving this band’s roots run deep and their future is evergreen.
