Summary

After the pandemic threw off touring plans for a few years, many big indie bands are making a 2022 comeback with double albums. Big Thief just delivered their 20-track LP and Kurt Vile recently announced a 90-minute magnum opus. But is Beach House's latest project Once Twice Melody effective as a double album? On this week's Indiecast, Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen talk Beach House's new album (40:57); reminisce on their most vivid festival memories (12:05); and decide it's not too early to argue about The 1975 (6:15).

Along with diving into Beach House's Once Twice Melody, Indiecast walks listeners through recently announced weekend-long festival lineups, which thankfully still exist two years into the pandemic. Hangout Fest 2022 hit the mark with Tame Impala, Megan Thee Stallion, Jack Harlow, and Phoebe Bridgers. Beale Street Music Festival took a more eclectic approach by booking a mix bag of performers like Foo Fighters, Lil Wayne, Smashing Pumpkins, Three 6 Mafia, DaBaby, and Modest Mouse (20:30).

In this week’s Recommendation Corner (52:44), Ian shouts out Pittsburgh band String Machine, whose album Hallelujah Hell Yeah is set to release next week. Steven hypes up Philly four-piece Caracara, an emo band with '90s alt-rock influences who are opening for String Machine on tour later this year.

dressed like he was in The Matrix from 2010 to 2016, Ian Cohen, Ian Horamorian.

0:32.5

Yeah, I mean, it seemed like just a week ago we were fretting over the broification of

0:37.1

indie cast, but now we just got to figure out how we were fretting over the broification of Indycast, but now we just

0:38.4

got to figure out how we're going to endure the latest vibe shift.

0:42.4

Look, man, this is, we're starting off on some real deep Twitter conversations right now.

0:47.8

Yeah, we kind of miss the window on the broification of a big thief.

0:53.1

I think we're, like, we're too late on that. The vibes just shift so quickly these days. We got, and there's probably people out there who have no idea what we're talking about, and I just will tell you, do not find out. Do not find out what we're talking about, just ignore it. What I love about Indycast is that like we have listeners who are absolutely not, like

1:12.8

who have no idea what we were just talking about as far as these inside jokes.

1:16.4

And I love that, you know, like if they had followed anything on Twitter, it's like the

1:22.5

fact that you're here after apparently witnessing the war on drugs cover Bob Seeger.

1:28.0

Yeah. Like this is the sort of thing where it's like Stephen Hayden, born, whatever year you were born, died, cause of death, war on drugs covering against the wind.

1:37.6

Yes, yes.

1:38.3

Well, I saw the war on drugs twice this week, Tuesday night and Wednesday night, which was last night, because we're recording

1:46.4

this on Thursday morning.

1:48.0

I won't talk too much about it because I am going to be writing something about the

1:51.7

War on Drugs pretty soon, so a little teaser for that.
