Durand Jones and The Indications – Private Space (Black vinyl)

‘Private Space’, Durand Jones and The Indications’ third album, is a previously untapped vibe at the heart of the group. Pushing beyond the boundaries of the funk and soul on their previous releases, ‘Private Space’ unlocks the door to a wider range of sounds and launches boldly into a world of synthy modern soul and disco beats dotted with strings. It’s an organic, timeless record that’s as fresh as clean kicks and familiar as your favourite well-worn album. Developed after being apart for much of the year, ‘Private Space’ is creatively explosive and delights in upending expectations. Its 10 tracks are both an escapist fantasy and a much-needed re-centring after a tumultuous 2020. Throughout, the Indications highlight a collective resiliency – as well as the power of a good song to be a light in the darkness. As the world slowly resets from the chaos of the past year, ‘Private Space’ is arriving at just the right time.
