Indigo De Souza - All Of This Will End

 

Limited edition "Crimson Sundown" colored vinyl

2023 release from indie rock sensation Indio De Souza

"One of indie rock's most versatile young voices." — The New Yorker

"I was finally able to trust myself fully," says Indigo De Souza of making her masterful third album All of
This Will End.

Across 11 songs, the LP, which is out April 28, 2023, is a raw and radically optimistic work that grapples with mortality, the rejuvenation that community brings, and the importance of centering yourself now. 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.

"All of This Will End feels more true to me than anything ever has," she says.

When the North Carolina-based artist released her compelling and explosive second LP Any Shape You Take in 2021, it led to a successful year of sold-out tours and rave reviews from outlets such as Pitchfork, the New York Times, and The New Yorker.

Her newest, All of This Will End, boasts songs that run the gamut of human emotion. There's pain and sadness, sure, but there's a triumphant spirit of resilience throughout. Take the single "Smog," which is exuberant,
danceable, and about the exhilaration that comes from breaking out of daily monotony. Elsewhere, she's
introspective, like in the soul-shattering "Always," which excavates her relationship with her father. But in
the single "The Water," she transforms a childhood memory of visiting her best friend into a meditation
on growing up and the fragility of relationships. Over a programmed drum beat, she sings, "I think about
what it was like / That summer when we were young and you did it with that guy in his car."

Though she's no longer as close to that person as she was when they were kids, there's power in reminiscing.
In many ways, All of This Will End has become a personal motto for Indigo.

"Every day I wake up with the thought that this could be the end," she says. "You could look at it as a sad thing, or you could look at it as a really precious thing: Today I'm alive and at some point, I will not be in this body anymore. But for now, I can do so much with being alive."
