"The Indigo Streak" is a song by American rock band Greta Van Fleet. It is the sixth track from their third album, Starcatcher.
The song was written while the band was working on their third album, and was then recorded during the Starcatcher sessions in 2022. They debuted the song on March 29, 2023, during their "Dreams in Gold Tour",[1] [2] and the track was released to the public on July 20, 2023, on digital media, one day before the release of the full album.[3] [4]
Square One Magazine reviewed the song saying; "The Indigo Streak is a stripped back, simpler than usual track for Greta Van Fleet, and plows forward with a simple purpose, employing an excellent riff and pounding drums along with a wailing of “Into the Ether” in the chorus to drive the song into listeners minds and get them nodding or thrashing along."[5]
The song was released one day before the release of Starcatcher as a visualizer on YouTube, however, the song was fully released to music streaming platforms on July 21, 2023. The song was met with praise for the songs drive and melodic approach, drawing similarities to a more psychedelic rock feel.
