Go Indigo Revitalizes the ’00s Sound with Unique AVEC AMOR EP

Update Go Indigo: Reviving the ’00s Sound with a Fresh Twist Go Indigo, a spirited indie pop band hailing from the Kansas City music scene, is breathing new life into the early 2000s sound with their latest EP, AVEC AMOR. Frontman Beau Harris and his bandmates, guitarist Riley Corbin and bassist Jeremy Klein, are on a mission to create music that resonates with nostalgia while appealing to modern sensibilities. Their sound, which beautifully blends Midwest emo with hints of house, aims not only to entertain but also to connect listeners on a deeper level. Crafting a Signature Sound The creative journey of AVEC AMOR has been one of thoughtful experimentation for Go Indigo. In a recent interview, Harris expressed, "We've been refining our sound by putting out music and assessing ourselves after live shows." Rather than rushing to a culmination, they meticulously evaluated their creations, often discarding parts that didn’t contribute to what they envisioned as a cohesive pop statement. For them, writing catchy pop songs is both a challenge and a joy, as they mix textures from noisy indie rock with polished pop elements. This careful balance of creativity aims to cater to listeners seeking both familiarity and freshness in sound. From Live Testing to Studio Success One fascinating aspect of Go Indigo's artistic process is their approach to live performances. Harris draws an analogy from the world of stand-up comedy, stating that comedians often test their jokes in front of audiences without being overly attached. Through this lens, Go Indigo experiments with their material on stage, observing audience reactions to see what resonates. This has resulted in transformative changes to their EP tracks based on live experimentation, helping the band refine their selections for final cuts. This mentality not only enhances their musical repertoire but also builds a stronger connection with local audiences who value authenticity. Balancing the Old with the New Nostalgia plays a critical role in Go Indigo’s mission to connect with their audience, especially those who remember the vibrant sounds of the 2000s. Their culturally rich music merges the edgy grit of indie rock with nostalgic pop undertones, offering a refreshing take while honoring the past. Harris notes, “As I’m getting into my later twenties, I see all these things I want to change … the only one who can is me,” symbolizing an evolution in his songwriting that echoes life’s inevitable transitions. Community Connections: Engaging Kansas City Local connections are at the heart of Go Indigo’s approach. Their music is not just an entertainment beacon but also an invitation for Kansas City residents to engage more deeply with their local culture. As they prepare for upcoming concerts and events, this band emphasizes the importance of supporting local music scenes. From live shows to upcoming festivals, there are plenty of local events in Kansas City that highlight homegrown talent. Anticipation and Excitement for What’s Next With their EP AVEC AMOR out now, Go Indigo is set to release a music video soon, and additional EPs are already on the horizon for next year. The precautions they take to ensure that each piece of music is polished reinforces their long-term vision for impact in the Kansas City scene and beyond.
