Durand Jones & The Indications have announced a new album and tour, both coming in early 2019.
American Love Call is the group’s second LP following their self-titled debut, released in 2016 just after the 20-somethings graduated from Indiana University. With the album announcement comes its lead single and accompanying music video, “Don’t You Know.”
From the start, the band’s laid-back, early-’70s groove, when paired with the two impossibly smooth vocalists at the forefront of the project, allowed Jones & The Indications to reach an almost nostalgic, ridiculous level of cool. This is ever-present in “Don’t You Know,” which more heavily features the falsetto of drummer Aaron Frazer and pulls out Impressions-esque harmonies for the hook.
The accompanying video switches between demolition derby shots and performance shots in a dimly lit bar. On paper this reads as totally random, but Jones & The Indications, unsurprisingly, manage to keep it groovy.
American Love Call is set for release on March 1, 2019, via Dead Oceans/Colemine Records. In support of the LP, the band will be touring from January through May in both Europe and North America.
