Summary

In the second of a special two-part episode, Steven and Ian are wrapping up the show for the year by awarding the highly sought-after Indiecasties to the most surprising, overrated, and genuinely impressive releases of the year from artists like The Killers, Fiona Apple, Phoebe Bridgers, and more.

This week, the duo are ready to bestow some trophies upon the albums that best embodied the aesthetics of 2020, as well as the artists who made the best comeback this year. Also on the slate for this episode are artists who defied the odds set by their back catalogue to surprise critics with the strengths of their most recent release, and the most overhyped albums that actually managed to deserve the praise, among many more.

0:27.6	My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you?
0:33.3	Steve, like one week after the fact, and I already feel like I'm going through year-endless withdrawal, man.
0:40.9	They're starting to come in in a trickle as opposed to a flood. And I mean, I just find myself, like, waking up in the middle of the night, like, needing to look at a, like, looking at like the cover of the duolipa album or something
0:56.3	like that um see like you you read a lot of year end lists i get this from your your
1:01.4	because like i have to admit um i read only one year end list from beginning to end and it was
