Durand Jones: ‘See It Through’

Durand Jones devotes his debut solo album Wait Til I Get Over to dissecting/unpacking his Southern and Black roots alongside his hometown of Hillaryville, Louisiana (a place established as part of reparations to formerly enslaved Black Americans). A departure from his work with band The Indications, Jones’ record leans into every aspect of his life — from his barefoot childhood on the blooming Gulf South to his relationship with his elders and his queerness. “See It Through” sheds light and optimism on persistence.
