Summary

After her 2018 debut Lush catapulted Lindsey Jordan into the spotlight, she was suddenly working harder — and more regularly — at the age of 18 than most people work in their lives. The tours, interviews, and TV appearances kept coming, and with them a growing cult of personality surrounding Jordan. All of this and more is explored on Valentine, the new album from Snail Mail. Where 2021 found many artists scaling back their productions into its more bare bones (see: Clairo and Lorde), Jordan used the opportunity to flesh out the Snail Mail sound substantially. Valentine is full of piano, synths, strings, and even boasts jazzy bass lines and tinges of R&B.

In this week’s Recommendation Corner, Ian is plugging Sup, the latest LP from Super American, and while Steve is promoting the latest effort from Neal Francis, In Plain Sight.

0:00.0	Indycast is presented by Uprocks' indie mixtape.
0:12.8	Hello everyone and welcome to Indycast.
0:14.8	On this show, we talk about the biggest indie news of the week.
0:17.0	We review albums and we hash out trends.
0:19.1	In this episode, we talk about the new album by Snail Mail. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host, my favorite non-fungible token, Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? I think I'm quite fungible. Thank you very much. But, yeah, we can go back to all the discussions that we had about, like, what's going to happen when I finally say something about, I don't know, Chugel that gets me booted off this podcast.
0:44.0	You would knock Chugel, though.
0:46.3	It's impossible to be anti-Chugel.
0:50.1	I don't know how anyone would strike out against that.
0:52.4	Especially if you live in San Diego, sunny all the time, perfect chugel weather. Is it though? Absolutely. People don't really chugel out here. It's more of like kind of a reggae, a pop reggae lope. Well, CCR is, I guess, Northern California, not Southern California. So maybe they trel more up in the north and in the south.
1:11.3	That's right.
1:11.6	It's a little more like kind of foggy and swampy up there.
1:15.1	San Diego, not a Chugel town.
1:17.4	However, I feel like I really am podcasting from the Indycast capital of America,
1:24.3	at least for this week, because there are a couple of things that are
1:28.3	happening in America's finest city, as it's known.
1:31.8	Like, that's the actual name, I think San Diego gave itself.
1:34.5	But I took a look at Casbah presents Casab being one of the main music venues in San Diego.
1:42.9	And I just want to tell the listeners what is happening in San Diego from Wednesday, November 3rd to Monday, November 8th.
1:54.4	Here are headliner acts, all on different nights, all on consecutive nights.
1:58.7	We have, we had no joy, Cloud nothings, an Indycast favorite.
2:03.9	Then on Saturday night Strand of Oaks, followed by Riley Walker on Sunday night,
2:10.1	which is like two people, I think, that are the biggest friends of the pod in the Indicast,
