Indycast is presented by Uprocks's Indie Mix tape.

Hello everyone and welcome to Indycast.

On this show, we talk about the biggest indie news of the week.

We review albums.

We hash out trends.

In this episode, we're going to be talking

about albums by two very successful indie acts who originated in the aughts, Sufion Stevens and

Fleet Foxes. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host, Ian Cohen. Ian, how are

you? Steve, you know, do you remember back in the day?

Like, I know that basically every one of our episodes starts with back in the day,

but do you remember back in whatever day it was, you know, when you would like a band

and you would be kind of ahead of the curve and then a couple years later, maybe other people start catching on and maybe you start to feel a little possessive, you know?

Of course, yes.

That's not been the case for me.

Pretty much ever since I've been a music writer, like if I like a band, then a couple years later people start catching on, it's probably because I spent those past two years very actively pounding on the table demanding the people listen to this band.

But in the past couple of weeks, I'm starting to get that old feeling again because, you know,

after walking the wilderness in 2017 and 2018 alone, in the past week, in the past two weeks, it has become super cool to dunk on idols.

And man, like, where were you guys in 2018 when they were eviscerating toxic masculinity?

I mean, I'm like kind of joking.

That's actually like, that's actually like what gives me like weird sort of feelings nowadays about like, you know, when I see bands getting dunked on, I sort of feel bad for it to the point where I kind of might have to check out the idols album to like maybe take a new contrarian viewpoint.

I don't know, man.

I'm feeling I'm feeling very confused right now, which is what I'm saying.
