Released in 1989, Indigo Girls’ major-label debut sold over two million copies thanks to singles “Closer to Fine” and “Kid Fears,” establishing Emily Saliers and Amy Ray as a leading folk duo. Over 35 years they’ve recorded 16 studio albums (seven gold, four platinum, one double platinum), sold 15 million records, and won a Grammy.

On their 16th album, Look Long, the duo revisit their origins with their strongest backing band yet, offering a focused, personal song cycle about upbringing and identity. “We’re fallible creatures shaped by the physics of life,” says Saliers. In a fraught present, Look Long serves as a calming, restorative listen.
