Summary

Somehow, 2021 is already nearly halfway over. With the world getting ready to emerge from our collective cocoon, here’s to hoping that the second half of the year will bring more joy IRL than the first half. Despite the lack of in-person interactions over the last six months, one thing that hasn’t been lacking is the release of exceptional new music. On this week’s episode of Indiecast, Steve and Ian are digging into some of the year’s best albums that might have flown under the radar.

Ranging from punk and punk-adjacent efforts like Fiddlehead’s Between The Richness and Field Music’s Flat White Moon, to the good vibes of Jimmy Montague’s Casual Use or Sunburned Hand Of The Man’s Pick A Day To Die, Steve and Ian cover a lot of sonic ground in their picks.

With much of this episode dedicated to music you might not have heard before, there is no Recommendation Corner this week.

Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host, Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? Well, I'd say

0:33.6

that things are looking up, at least for me, as far as the unspoken but unmistakable rivalry,

0:40.9

which animates Indicast between you and I.

0:44.4

I mean, right now, you got the books, you've got what, probably twice as many Twitter followers

as I do.

0:50.1

I know who keeps the lights on an Indicast.

0:53.2

However...

0:54.0

Well, hold on here.

0:55.4

Okay, I'm just going to say, though, that there's a lot of Ian Cohen set.

1:01.3

I feel like the core of our audience are devoted Ian Cohen hats.

1:08.5

Maybe I'm wrong about that.

1:10.2

But anyway, what were you going to say?

1:12.9

Yeah, so, I mean, you're pretty much lapping me on all of those metrics.

1:17.7

However, I think that there is finally a non-zero chance that I might be represented in a feature film, which I don't think you can say that yet. So there has been... You're talking about the chain smokers movie, about emo night. Yes, I'm not just talking about the chain smokers movie, nor the emo night movie, but the EDM pop duo, the chain smokers, is among the backers of a scripted feature film. Every night is Emo Night. So I learned about this in Variety.

1:46.2
