“Did I expect to do this shit once I got out of college? Hell no…” Durand Jones & The Indications' sophomore album, American Love Call, combines the aesthetics of the past with a very 2019 urgency. The band's self - titled debut success allowed them a better recording budget. Now, they've created the record they always dreamed of, with strings, backing vocals, and more confident songwriting. Influences from Curtis Mayfield, Jackie Wilson, golden - era hip - hop, and 70s folk are evident. Drummer Aaron Frazer adds his falsetto to six cuts. This limited - edition comes on translucent orange colored vinyl, includes a giant foldout poster, a digital download, and is from the Dead Oceans label in 2019. Reviewed in 09/2018 by cico buff.
To enjoy this vinyl record, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable, center it, and lower the tonearm onto the record. When not in use, store the record in its sleeve and keep it upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. Handle the record by its edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches on the playing surface. Enjoy the music and the giant foldout poster that comes with it, and don't forget you can also download the digital version for on - the - go listening.
