Durand Jones & The Indications share a new single/video, “The Way That I Do,” from their forthcoming album, Private Space (Dead Oceans/Colemine Records) out July 30th. “The Way That I Do” is upbeat, and conjures the flicker of a disco ball. Its grooving percussion is balanced by keys and Aaron Frazer’s signature falsetto. The accompanying video, directed by Weird Life and shot at Josephine’s Southern Cooking in Chicago, features Pete & Linda Frazier, the 2019 winners of the World’s Largest Steppers Contest in Chicago. “My wife Linda and I are from Chicago, the Stepper’s capital of the world, and are members of the Majestic Gents Stepper’s organization,” says Pete Frazier. “We were honored to be asked to participate in this video. As we say on the dance floor, ‘Steppers, let’s go to work!’” In step with the aesthetic presentation of Private Space, the two dance in retro-inspired outfits on an old-school stage.
Aaron Frazer adds: “Whether on tour or spinning records, over the years we realized how much we love making people dance. When the first notes hit or the needle drops and the whole crowd lights up, that’s a feeling we held onto all through 2020. And that’s what we’re bringing on ‘The Way That I Do.’ It’s a run-to-the-dancefloor song for that special person who gets you shook, makes you wanna do more, and be your best self. But it’s also for everyone who’s missed just getting together and movin’ their ass! See y’all soon!”
