‘Coming out, it was like a veil was lifted’: Indigo Girls on homophobia, hope and their big Barbie moment
With Margot Robbie belting out one of their songs on screen and an inspiring new documentary, It’s Only Life After All, the folk rock duo are gaining new recruits to their fiercely devoted fanbase
The duo twice broke into the US Top 10, won a Grammy, and sold millions of albums in the late 80s and early 90s, and today remain a reliable, busy touring and recording act – even earning a high-profile spot in the Barbie movie. And it’s bigger than us, really.” The film duly underscores the duo’s commitment to causes such as animal and reproductive rights, and Indigenous environmental activism; it incorporates moving interviews with fans, who detail the formative moments they’ve experienced alongside the Indigo Girls’ music, such as coming out, getting married or divorced, embracing sobriety and growing up queer. Elsewhere, their songs propel another recent film, the jukebox musical romance Glitter & Doom, including a lovely new original tune called What We Wanna Be; Ray released a solo album in 2022 If It All Goes South via Daemon Records.
