Indigo “Blurred” & “Cry To” & “Flowers”

Posted on:

Indigo recently released a series of three singles, "Blurred" & "Cry To" & "Flowers", that showcase his ability to create well-crafter LoFi, bedroom pop gems.

This is primarily the work of Miles King who first caught our attention with the fun surf pop song "Doho" back in October.

"Flowers" is a quiet small song about change and the end of summer fling.

"Cry To" plays with similar themes as "Flowers" adds beautifully haunting synths.

"Blurred" finds Indigo working with Lure Division and creating a melody that is incredibly addictive.
