Durand Jones & The Indications Share Wistful New Single, “Long Way Home”

Durand Jones & The Indications have released a new single called “Long Way Home” just over a week before the release of their sophomore album, American Love Call.

Jones said of the inspiration behind the new track in a statement:

I can’t help but think of the brothers and sisters in America’s prison system whose lives are ruined over minor convictions. How some of my friends at home now navigate their young adult lives as felons, and all the barriers— social, political and economic— that come along with that. I also think of how we are not walking these trials alone. And if you’re willing to give a hand to help something, it usually comes back around when you need it. We have to show up for each other.

Take the “Long Way Home” below, and keep scrolling to stop off at Jones & The Indications’ 2017 visit to Paste Studio.
