Indigo De Souza on WHOLESOME EVIL FANTASY

"These songs come from the spiciest, most goofy, glitter gloss place in my psyche. I wasn’t really thinking very hard when I wrote them. I was just having so much fun. I am continuously inspired by the sounds and energy brought by my collaborators, Elliott Kozel and Jesse Schuster. They are always making me laugh and bringing out the silliest version of me. I would not have discovered this new space without them. Listening to these songs fills me with gratitude for the playful musical connection we have, as well as everlasting friendship. My baseline existence can be pretty heavy and complicated, but these songs made me deeply joyous the whole time I was working on them."

Indigo De Souza recently appeared on the latest edition of NPR’s Tiny Desk where she performed songs from her most recent album, All of This Will End, including tracks like the gorgeous ballad “Younger and Dumber” and “The Water.” Watch Indigo De Souza’s Tiny Desk HERE. All of This Will End was released in 2023 to near unanimous critical praise and was the follow-up to her acclaimed 2021 breakthrough album Any Shape You Take, and marked a warmer and unmistakably new era for her. It was a statement about fearlessly moving forward from the past into a gratitude-filled present, feeling it all every step of the way, and choosing to embody loving awareness. Across 11 songs, the album was a raw and radically optimistic work that grappled with mortality, the rejuvenation that community brings, and the importance of centering yourself now. The tracks came from the most resonant moments of her life: childhood memories, collecting herself in parking lots, the ecstatic trips spent wandering the 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.
