“We had such an organic energy flow and we felt really inspired by each other.” Tracks like the pummeling “Wasting Your Time” and the muscular single “You Can Be Mean” highlight the band at their most defiant and locked-in. It’s her most stunning offering yet.Ĭreatively re-energized from having these songs pour out of her so quickly, Indigo and her band went to Asheville’s Drop of Sun Studios with producer and engineer Alex Farrar, who also worked on Any Shape You Take. I was flailing through life, trying to make something stick, and coming to terms with being on earth.” The song is her most intentional yet, where she sings, “You came to hurt me in all the right places / Made me somebody.” Though the track starts as a whisper, it slowly unfolds to something cathartic and explosive as she belts out, “And the love I feel is so very real it can take you anywhere.” With the clarity that comes with experience and healing, Indigo treats her past self with immense kindness. “I wrote this song paying homage to a younger self that didn't know any better. “While I was writing about the time when my music first started to take shape, it was also the worst time in my life and the most unstable I'd ever been,” she says. One of the first songs she wrote for the album, the track began as a way of her speaking to her younger self. I thought this track was a sweet way to talk about coming back to yourself, to your true self.”Īlongside the all-encompassing emotions captured in the first song, the album is bookended with the heartfelt and nostalgic closer “Younger & Dumber,” which Indigo chose as the lead single. “There was a time in my life when that was a lot of what I was doing. “You can fall into dysfunction or sadness, or allow other people to hurt you and not have boundaries,” she says. It’s a song about rising out of struggle, putting things in the past, and moving on where she sings over comforting synths, “I feel like I’m leaving myself behind / And I’m so tired of crying / I wanna get back up again.” The track later explodes with her voice booming over a stunning arrangement. My music feels like it's coming from a centered place of reflection.” Opener “Time Back” deals with the necessary forward momentum she cherishes. I have an incredible community, I love where I live, and I’m surrounded by truly incredible people who are dedicated to deep connection and joy. “Up until recently, my life felt chaotic,” she says. Indigo finds recent inspiration from community and stability. “ All of This Will End feels more true to me than anything ever has,” she says. These tracks come from the most resonant moments of her life: childhood memories, collecting herself in parking lots, the ecstatic trips spent wandering Appalachian mountains and southern swamps with friends, and the times she had to stand up for herself. Across its 11 songs, the LP is a raw and radically optimistic work that grapples with mortality, the rejuvenation that community brings, and the importance of centering yourself now. “I was finally able to trust myself fully,” says Indigo De Souza of making her masterful third album All of This Will End.
