Indicator Indicator is the solo project of Sandy Taronno, currently fronting Winnipeg’s Quinzy. Though both are rooted in pop, his solo output boasts more of an electronic leaning than his main project. The result is a light, sometimes moody cross between Elliott Smith and The Postal Service with the power pop sensibilities of Spoon and Wilco thrown in for good measure. It’s a great sound for cool summer nights spent in backyards, creating a similar vibe as The Postal Service’s Get Up did upon its release.
Taronno’s creativity recently caught the web by storm when he released a video for the song “My Love Don’t Belong” of people around the globe singing along with the tune on their webcams – some seriously, some not so much. For a new project, the songs offered up by Indicator Indicator are surprisingly refined, with the only real criticism being that they’re a tad uneven at times with Taronno not being sure if he wants to take an electronic or guitar-led approach. That said, a proper full-length just might lead him to an answer.
