They asked if we would use some footage of the Elfstedentocht (Eleven Cities Tour), the world's biggest ice skating race, and write some songs around it. So we did. A transcript in English is below

Indigo Soul’s inaugural release sees 21 year-old Josh Humphris step into the limelight with Moses Jam/Infinity Loop, an understated yet deeply textured release reminiscent of early Flying Lotus or Floating Points productions. 

Within this intricate 8-minute offering, Humphris lays bare his current state of mind, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences (Bibio to Ju-Par Universal Orchestra, Morgan Geist to Gonjasufi,) coastal life in Brighton and his current obsession with the Fender Rhodes.

Josh Humphris - Infinity Loop

Blood and Bone is a reckoning set to rhythm—an album built where the body meets myth, where memory scrapes against metal, and survival grows teeth. Its sonic palette threads drum-machine pulse through dust-bitten guitars, twang through circuitry, and flamenco flicker through industrial grit. Every track lives in the tension between ruin and insistence, between a world that shakes with fire, violence, wind, and destiny, and a narrator who keeps stepping forward anyway. The project treats rhythm not as a backdrop but as a heartbeat you can almost hear splitting, mending, and refusing collapse.

Across this landscape, the human form is battered, unmasked, hunted, resurrected, and set ablaze—but never surrendered. The music leans into acoustic grain, the sweat-salt of live strings, the grit of surf twang and outlaw twine, yet plants those textures in a scaffold of relentless electronic precision. What emerges is a bruised hymn to endurance: techno carved out of earth, alt-country scorched into myth, psychobilly swagger sharpened by war and weather. Blood and Bone doesn’t seek redemption so much as it chronicles the cost of staying alive when the elements, the mountains, the inner voices, and the gods all stare back—and demand a response.
