2.20  Aaron Frazer on new music and breaking up: 'It sucks, but it’s not forever'

Aaron Frazer came to world attention with his debut solo album Introducing produced by Dan Auerbach from Black Keys. His second album Into the Blue, out yesterday, charts the difficult months after a breakup, and his decision to move to the other side of America. 

The album, however, has a sense of optimism and resilience, and blends soul with psychedelia, spaghetti western, disco, gospel, and hip-hop. 

Aaron spoke to Charlotte Ryan from his new base in LA.

In 2022 Indy released a debut EP Threads and received a lot of attention, now she returns with a brand new single ‘East Coast’, out just yesterday.

 Charlotte Ryan caught up with Indy at her home in New York.
