Summary

On the new episode of Indiecast, Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen look back to 2013, a pivotal year in recent indie history that saw the arrival of some of the biggest names in the genre, and the staying power of some of its veterans.

2013 brought the emergence of artists like Disclosure, Lorde, The 1975 and Haim. Vampire Weekend also dropped their seminal LP 'Modern Vampires Of The City' and Sky Ferreira finally delivered 'Night Time, My Time.' Back in our first episode about Arcade Fire's 'The Suburbs,' we noted how that album helped to mark the end of the aughts. In this episode, Hyden and Cohen declare 2013 to be the official beginning of the 2010s, with many artists still in the collective conscience today.

0:34.2	Ian, how are you?
0:35.4	So, I'm stoked because by the end of this episode, I'll have forfeited
0:40.8	any claim I have left to critical objectivity. I mean, I think it's a myth to begin with, but
0:47.1	like it's going to be gone. I think it's very freeing because when we talk about 2013, it's a lot of music that I should, by all rights,
0:57.9	despise because we're going to start to see a theme. It sounds like, you know, a 3 p.m. set of
1:03.2	Coachella. It sounds like the H&M at the Glendale Galleria. And yet, I was living a lifestyle
1:08.5	that made it very amenable to that sort of music.
