The retro-soul act Durand Jones & The Indications offer a comforting throwback to vintage R&B sounds of the ’60s. • Frontman Durand Jones hails from rural Louisiana. He founded the band as a grad student at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, enlisting fellow students Aaron Frazer (drums), Blake Rhein (guitar), Kyle Houpt (bass), and Justin Hubler (keyboard). • The group released its first single, “Smile,” in 2015 and returned the following year with its self-titled debut album, recorded at home for a scant $452.11. • Their second album,American Love Call, arrived in 2019, offering a more polished take on their nostalgic sound.
