So excited to announce that my new album, "Precipice", will be out in full this summer, July 25th. And today the first single, "Heartthrob" is out with a music video.
Huge thanks to Elliott Kozel for making this album with me. Our collaboration has become one of the most important things in my life.
And huge thanks to my mom, Kimberly Oberhammer, for painting this album cover. I am forever grateful.
So excited to share this body of work. 🥰 Big big love 💕forever and always
It’s hard to ask for help at a time when everyone around me is in need of so much help. But here I am, and I have to accept that.
My home and all of my belongings were destroyed by Hurricane Helene.
I deeply appreciate any support you’re able to give. Whether it’s a few bucks, sharing this GoFundMe, or just sending a good thought in my direction. Thank you so much for holding me in this strange and surreal new reality. www.gofundme.com/f/indigos-hurricane-relief
These songs came from the dumbest, goofiest, most brazen place in my spirit. I’m grateful that I get to reflect on my life/ experiences in so many different playful ways! I realize certain avenues I take are not for everyone, but I appreciate the ride for what it is, and hope that my audience has the patience to let me play/ follow whatever mood/feeling Im feeling. Most of my songs have come from the deepest, darkest, most heartbroken place. It feels good to just make something fun for once. Thanks for listening. 💕
Sending big love to all of you! (always) and permission to explore all versions of yourself! Who gives a fuck??? All of this will end.
I am devastatingly happy to have arrived at the release of this album, All of This Will End: indigodesouza.scfm.me/aotwe
I am grateful for such loving support from my community, label, management and family.Thank you to anyone listening, reading, following along with anything I’m doing.
This music is my heart speaking out directly. Thank you for hearing me.
I wrote ‘You Can Be Mean’ about a brief toxic experience I had with a manipulative and abusive LA model f***boy. However brief, it had a life-long impact on my understanding of self,” Indigo explains. “Leading up to that experience, I had a history of putting myself in toxic situations and pining for validation from people who treated me poorly. I was stuck in some delusion that I could help abusive people through their trauma and teach them to love me in the way I deserved. I wrote this song when I finally realized that I could choose not to allow harmful behavior into my life, and that there is a deep, deep importance in protecting the body and spirit. I stopped caring about validation from assholes, stopped thinking it was my responsibility to help them, and started caring for myself in a real way. Once I made that switch in my psyche, I began to manifest truly loving, safe, kind, and communicative people into my life. Being loved in the way I deserve begins with loving myself in the way I deserve. Boundaries are so important. The body is a sacred and fragile thing and it deserves every ounce of care.
I remember writing this song during the peak of the pandemic. I was living alone on a dead end street surrounded by neighbors who were seemingly always mowing their lawns. I remember having a lot of anxiety during the day, navigating the newly awkward and uncertain experience of doing anything mid world freak-out. I was in an emotional state that felt like a cross between delirious joy and a real tired hopelessness. Everything felt unknown and distant. “Smog” is mostly about that strange time and how it felt in my house, alone. When the neighborhood was asleep, and all the lawn mowers stopped, I felt free to make anything and sing anything I wanted. It was my first time ever living alone. It brought me a lot closer to myself.
For the video, I wanted to make something that felt like one of those dreams where you’re going through mundane life motions, and then you realize that you’re dreaming because something completely out of the ordinary breaks your reality. That’s kind of what the pandemic felt like for me. Like my whole life I'd been moving through this rigid societal system that felt really unfair and unnatural, and when the whole thing suddenly fell apart, I realized that all of the structures I’d been placed in were just made up. They weren’t as powerful as I’d thought. But what does feel powerful to me is the opportunity to fill life with intention, to foster community, to grow and learn from nature, and from each other.
Endless thanks to all involved, and big big love to anyone listening. <3

For this month’s Bandcamp Friday I am sharing my cover of Frank Ocean’s “Ivy” that I made around this time last year. I deeply love Frank's songs, and "Ivy" holds a truly heartbreaking and intimate space in my life. I have cried many times to this song and have felt much of my own inner world reflected in it. Thank you Frank Ocean! And Thank you Michael Matsakis for mixing and mastering the track for me. <3
My sophomore album “Any Shape You Take” is out now, and I take a huge sigh of relief because I have waited so long for this moment.
I want to thank the team that worked on this album with me. It was a strange time to be making an album, and the process was met with so much heart. ❤️ Thank you Dexter Webb, Jake Lenderman, and Owen Stone for playing/shredding on this record and building its universe. Thank you to Brad Cook for producing this album with me and offering such incredible support throughout, —-thank you Alex Farrar, and Adam McDaniel of Drop of Sun for engineering and producing and for encouraging my vision so fully.
Thank you to my kickass mama for painting the album cover and “I love my mom” album cover as well. Thank you Jadon Ulrich for working so patiently with my specific taste on the layout design for the physical copies.💞
Such big and deep thank yous to the absolutely incredible team of people who stand with me and make my dreams a reality every day. My manager, my confidant, my sweetest friend Madelyn Anderson ,—Amber Carew and Robb Nansel at Saddle Creek and the entire beautiful staff. My angel ass booking agent Greg Horbal ,—
I am unbelievably blessed in my life right now. I feel so very seen and heard and celebrated and uplifted in ways I have only ever dreamt of.
Thank you to my family and friends for giving me the space to grow and explore— for making me laugh— and holding me when I am at my darkest. Thank you for teaching me and moving me always.
————————-
And lastly,, just thank you to all of you for listening. You have no idea how much it means to me.
I am forever connected to all of you through a void that is so specifically ours.
