Composition and themes

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." [6]

Release and reception

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. [4] The song was met with praise for the songs drive and melodic approach, drawing similarities to a more psychedelic rock feel. [4]
