FADER TV: Riding The Cyclone With Indian Jewelry
- story THE FADER
Indian Jewelry, for those of us who’ve seen a live show, is the type of band we just assume would turn to pillars of ash under direct sunlight. So when they suggested that we head to Coney Island for some thrills and chills on a Wednesday afternoon, we happily obliged and were delighted to see their beautiful porcelain skin in the light of day. And there they were, traipsing all around the grounds of Astroland with a running commentary of the slightly depressing rides and patrons of the amusement park. They even threw around a few shout-outs to Astroworld (R.I.P. 2005) in their mother-city of Houston, TX. It took a few beers and a few shirtless, fat men to get them to leave the Coney concrete and board Brooklyn’s last standing lawsuit in the making, but they did it! They rode the Cyclone! Afterwards, whiplashed and nauseous, they went to the beach and tried not to get sand in their beer. Watch the video above to be a part of our psychedelic exploration of an American pastime.

Audio: Indian Jewelry, “Swans,” & “Temporary Famine Ship”
- story THE FADER
It feels like we’ve been talking about Indian Jewelry’s sweaty noise-psych forever, probably because their songs are so epic that we feel like they took us on a really intense quest or like, gave us heatstroke. But that’s the best thing about IJ, they make us want to leave the city and drive around, our backs stuck to the car seat and a really smelly dog hanging out next to us. Both songs are from Indian Jewelry’s upcoming Free Gold on Now We Are Free.
Indian Jewelry, “Swans”
