Durand Jones & The Indications – Ride Or Die / More Than Ever (7″) [Colemine Records CLMN222]

Featuring two tracks that come from Durand Jones & The Indications’ third LP, this 45 is a honeyed slice of retro-soul with pop leanings as the band continues to mine the 60s and 70s for inspiration. Front to back, this 45 keeps a healthy balance between inventing new sounds and sticking to the band’s strengths. The A-side “Ride or Die” casts the spotlight squarely on drummer Aaron Frazer, who also happens to have one of Earth’s silkiest falsettos while Jones’ vocals lead the way through the sultry “More Than Ever”.
