This week’s episode kicks off with a listener question about the current renaissance of post-punk outfits like Dry Cleaning, Squid, or Pottery. Is this style of music, which is often built around the dry musings of a distinctly BRITISH vocalist, built to last, or is its popularity merely a byproduct of being inside for too long?
The main crux of this week’s episode, however, is dedicated to Daddy’s Home and Delta Kream, new albums from two of the biggest working indie artists today: St. Vincent and The Black Keys, respectively. Where do the latest efforts from these two genre-defining acts rank in their lengthy discographies? While The Black Keys have been pumping out radio hits for the better part of the last decade, St. Vincent has achieved an interesting level of critical acclaim comparing her to legends like Prince, Madonna, and David Bowie, albeit without any bona-fide hits on her setlist.
In this week’s Recommendation Corner, Ian is digging Whole Damn Body, the recent b-sides EP from Los Campesinos! Meanwhile, Steve is can’t get enough of Topaz, the soulful new album from Texas singer-songwriter Israel Nash.

0:20.7 | In this episode, we will be reviewing new albums by St. Vincent and the Black Keys. Unfortunately, not together. They're a part on these records. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host, Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? How am I doing? I'm just basking in the afterglow of the week that Skah broke, man. |
0:39.9 | Like, we got madness on late night shows, you know, people complaining that we've |
0:45.6 | overstepped by trying to bring Skah back into the cultural discussion, man. |
0:50.8 | And I'm just, like, kicking back. |
0:52.4 | And it's appreciating a job well done, man. I don't know about you. Can I just say like, did you just make an Everclear reference at the top of the episode? No, that's so, that is so much for the afterglow and you might combine it with Osso Oso's basking in the glow, neither of which are Skah. I'm sure Ever Clear at some point. I feel like Everclear had to have played around with Skaw at some point. There was Southern California band. But no, that was just me. Literally. I just hear AfterGlow and I immediately go to Everclear and then I start thinking about how my father was not a good man and I just want to hear |

1:39.0 | What's that? Dude, we're talking about a new St. Vincent album. Oh, that's right. Oh, dude, that was an alley-up for you right there, Steve. That was, man. I was totally blanking. I didn't, I wasn't thinking of that. You know, this is a great week for album title names, by the way, because we have, we have Daddy's Home by St. Vincent. We have Delta Cream. With a K. |
2:01.4 | Yeah, with a K by the Black Keys. |

2:15.6 | You'd get your mom for Mother's Day a gift certificate to path of wellness |
2:20.5 | where she could go have a, she could go treat herself. |
2:24.4 | But that's the name of the new Slater Kinney record. |
2:27.7 | I mean, I saw people talking about this online. |
2:29.8 | There's a very pointed note in the press release that this album was self-produced. |
2:36.2 | And I don't know if people are reading into that, if they feel like, oh, is this like a sub-tweet |
2:41.9 | of St. Vincent because she famously produced their previous record? |
