about
Buying Fireworks in Indiana
means listening to songs, reading essays, and watching videos. It's drum & bliss, baby.
Buying Fireworks in Indiana is Will Lindsay, a Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and dj whose genre-defying "drum & bliss" weaves future garage and indie electronic through biting guitars and 2000's alt nostalgia.
Buying Fireworks in Indiana is a window into ongoing collaboration. It's making songs with interesting people in interesting places.

Will Lindsay is a musician and storyteller who’s spent the past decade chasing songs and dodging algorithms. He fronts the critically acclaimed Philadelphia indie-punk band Caracara, and before that, made noisy, joyful chaos as W.C. Lindsay. He’s toured the world, lost sleep in vans, and somehow managed to make music that people could feel.
Now, he’s pouring all of that into Buying Fireworks in Indiana - a solo project that blends indie electronic music and longform writing into something you can’t quite describe at parties.
Shaped by years of DIY shows, overnight drives, and conversations in strange corners of the world, Buying Fireworks in Indiana is part travelogue, part love letter to subculture.
Musically, the project lives between genres in a space Lindsay calls “drum & bliss." It blends indie electronic, future garage, post-punk, and melodic drum & bass. It’s emotionally charged and built for movement: dancing, driving, disappearing.
The rest of the story unfolds in essays, videos, and dj sets.
