Indigo Sparke

Indigo Sparke is actually her real name. Her parents – a jazz singer and a rock musician – named her after the Duke Ellington song »Mood Indigo«, and she spent her childhood in Australia, where she taught herself to play guitar in her early twenties. Pitchfork called Indigo Sparke’s minimalist debut »Echo«, produced by her ex-girlfriend Adrianne Lenker, »a dark little star of intimacy and intensity.« Her latest album, »Hysteria«, produced by Aaron Dessner (The National, Taylor Swift), is a touch more expansive, packed with big guitars and complex instruments, laying the foundation for Indigo’s soaring vocals. It finds the now New York-based singer-songwriter exploring love, loss, grief and a newfound anger: it’s a diary made for big stages.
