Indigo FM

Indigo FM is the musical project of singer/songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Esteban Obando. Esteban was born in Bogota, Colombia to a musical family but grew up in Montreal, Canada where the family emigrated when he was a child. There, he showed an affinity for music and began taking piano lessons from an early age. Indigo FM formed as a band in 2019 and has since put out a string of successful singles including “Us Against the World”, “Daffodil”, “Houston” and “Anhedonia”. Since 2021, however Indigo FM has morphed into a solo project. Inspired by Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, on the upcoming record "A Billion Burning Suns" Esteban has written the songs, and multitracked all the parts except for drums, provided by Bastian Jansen and Jarvis Jeb as well as background vocal arrangements provided by Emma River. A notable exception is the track "Hold That Thought" which came about as a fruitful collaboration between producer Alexis Rodriguez of Silver Gun Records and Esteban. On the latest Indigo FM album entitled “A Billion Burning Suns” Esteban draws from influences as diverse as Pink Floyd, Elliot Smith, the Strokes and the Red Hot Chili Peppers to create a whimsical record full of peaks and valleys that explores themes of relationships, isolation, frustration and catharsis. The lyrics are at times abstract and metaphorical and at other times more confessional and direct, often oscillating between the two for impact.
