Jones, Durand & The Indications: Private Space/Sea Of Love (dark purple vinyl) 7"

The latest 45 from Durand Jones & The Indications features two tracks from their previous LP, "Private Space". The A-side features the album's title track and is a laid-back, string-enhanced, smooth progression where guitarist Blake Rhein plays minimal but on-the-money strokes. The flip is an uptempo, drum heavy beat with lyrics depicting heartbreak and longing. "Sea Of Love" delivers on that smell good, look good, feel good 1970s synth sheen arrangements, lavish string charts, and double-down confidence from a band who gets to move their core expertly into a different decade.
