This week, Features contributor Mike Nikolich speaks with Durand Jones, Aaron Frazer, and Blake Rhein of the Bloomington, Indiana-based retro-soul/contemporary R&B group, Durand Jones & The Indications. They talk about their recording process over email due to the pandemic on their new record Private Space, losing power at a recent show at the Vic, and their origins at Indiana University.

"I have favorite moments more than favorite songs, I feel like. For me, I love the end of Private Space. What Ben Kane, the mixing engineer, did in those moments, I close my eyes and I just see all these different kinds of greens and colors swooshing. It's really beautiful. That's my favorite moment on the record it still gives me chills when I got really good headphones on and I'm listening to it."
