Summary

To be considered "prolific" in the music world, an artist usually puts out an album every one or two years. But what about bands who routinely release several albums a year? On this week's Indiecast episode, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen deep dive into King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's wildly fruitful career (they've put out 23 albums since 2012, including five albums this year) (40:56). Plus, Indiecast shares their forecast for which bands will make the rounds on 2022 Albums Of The Year lists (20:56).

In terms of music news this week, Taylor Swift's new album Midnights once again seemed to have the internet in a chokehold so Steven and Ian discuss how each Swift album cycle sparks the same debate about stans (3:32). Plus, Indiecast names bands they consider to be the Velvet Underground of this generation (10:16).

This week's Recommendation Corner (54:09) has Ian telling listeners to check out Sam Prekop And John McEntire's recent album Sons Of, which is surprisingly melodic. Steven recommends Dazy, the project of Virginia-based singer-songwriter James Goodson, whose debut LP OUTOFBODY is fun, catchy, and bedroom pop-adjacent.

0:45.9	Alternative press breaking news on the crossover of Taylor Swift fans and emo fans, you brought this article to my attention right
0:58.1	before we started recording. I just want to read the first paragraph. What's something Taylor Swift and
1:03.6	emo bands have in common? While that statement feels like some sort of chicken crossing the road
1:09.5	jive, you'd be surprised what similarity swifties and swoopy-haired emo's share.
1:16.7	Whether it's describing lyrics, poetically mapping out the cruel fate of a broken heart,
