Inda talks with Gianna Volpe on WPPB today at 11AM EST discussing her latest album Shelter in Place and the state of the arts during pandemic.

Shelter In Place was first released in 2018, and it was written from the vantage point of a self-imposed isolation. During this time, Inda took pause to mourn the losses of her mother and grandmother, and lament the country’s divide and turmoil in the wake of the election of 2016. The album’s very existence, and its cathartic and positive messaging, speaks to the transformative state we achieve when we stand still. Shelter In Place is a meditation on self-reflection, redemption, and, ultimately, rebirth.
“Who knew that title would take on a dystopian rapture connotation?” the Springs, New York-based artist says with a good-natured laugh. “Every song feels like it has been divined ahead. The album is about my world crashing down. In this self-healing space, I was forced to slow adrenaline and get quiet, and while sheltering in place this hopeful project came to be.”
Many works of art, music, and literature have been made during severe lifestyle restrictions. Shelter In Place was birthed in this spirit. Inda wrote and recorded the album at home, and self-funded the entire project on a credit card. Against this backdrop, Inda dove in and wrote about the seismic deaths in her life, and the sadness she felt seeing political lawn signs well past the 2016 election, showing people were afraid and hiding from one another. The album gives permission to be in a state of internal conflict.
Inda and her band celebrated this milestone album on March 7th, 2020 with a blowout of a show, featuring her entire crew at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor, New York. It was the last public concert in the community, and it was titled, “Shelter In Place.” At the show, Inda debuted the breathtaking Americana travelogue of a video for the album song “Free.” She has held off publicly releasing the filmic short as to not be tone deaf to the state of the world. After the show, Inda’s band members from Phoenix and Milwaukee barely made it home in time before the country shut down.
"Free", from the album Shelter In Place, offers a sense of hope during a global hospice.
