LP - Aaron Frazer - Into The Blue

1 LP - limited frosted coke bottle clear vinyl - released 06/28

"Into The Blue" is the second solo album from Aaron Frazer (of Durand Jones & The Indications). A daring blend of soul, psychedelia, spaghetti western, disco, gospel, and hip-hop, "Into The Blue" represents the impressive range of Frazer's sonic talents.

Frazer maintains the unmistakable falsetto and classic songwriting he's known for, but plants the album firmly in the now with a hip-hop mentality at its core, weaving together genres and production techniques to form something new. "Into The Blue" was conceived, like so many classic records, out of actual heartbreak.

Frazer moved cross-country from Brooklyn to Los Angeles and embarked on a journey that's reflected in the album's themes of grief, loneliness, and searching for healing. For "Into The Blue", Frazer enlisted Grammy-winner Alex Goose as co-producer, known for his crate-digging samples and collaborations with hip-hop artists like Freddie Gibbs, Madlib, and Brockhampton. Frazer also experimented with samples for the first time on a record, drawing from unexpected sources like 90s R&B group Hi-Five.
