Any Shape You Take (Emerald Vinyl)

Description

“Everything has to be said.” This is the conviction guidingIndigo De Souza’ssophomore album,Any Shape You Take. This dynamic record successfully creates a container for the full spectrum pushing through and against every emotion: “I wanted this album to give a feeling of shifting with and embracing change. These songs came from a turbulent time when I was coming to self-love through many existential crises and shifts in perspective.”

Faithful to its name,Any Shape You Takechanges form to match the tenor of each story it tells. “The album title is a nod to the many shapes I take musically. I don’t feel that I fully embody any particular genre all of the music just comes from the universe that is my ever-shifting brain/heart/world,” says Indigo. This sonic range is unified by Indigo’s strikingly confessional and effortless approach to songwriting, a signature first introduced in her debut, self-released LP,I Love My Mom. Written in quick succession, Indigo sees these two records as companion pieces, both distinct but in communion with each other: “Many of the songs on these two records came from the same season in my life and a certain version of myself which I feel much further from now.I feel very much like a shape-shifter with my music, I’m always trying to embody a balance between the existential weight and the overflowing sense of love I feel in the world.”

It is exactly this balance that Indigo strikes in her Saddle Creek debut,Any Shape You Take. A listening experience that gives back, as you shed and shape-shift along with her.
