Australian singer songwriter, Indigo Sparke, sings with lyrics that "both cut hard and comfort".
Indigo was born in the belly of Sydney, Newtown, named after the Duke Ellington, to two musician parents who brought her up on Joni Mitchell and Neil Young, so the thread of this is woven through her blood.
Following her Steiner education as a child, she went on to attend a performing arts school and then did three years at acting school which ultimately led her to following her music career. It was in Australia that she met the band Big Thief doing a support show for them and grew close with the band's front woman, Adrianne Lenker, who then went on to co-produce Indigo's debut album released on Sacred Bones Records, Echo. The record received much critical acclaim. Pitchfork said of the album, "There is a weird magnetism just beneath the surface. Sparke sings with emotional ferocity, flickering out of her head a voice that hints at wilder, more elemental feelings."
