Destroyer is a band that has been around for so many years, they seem to exist in their own realm. This week on Indiecast, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen dig into Destroyer’s new album Labyrinthitis and wonder if the band is now immune to criticism from music reviewers. Oso Oso, on the other hand, is being picked up by music outlets. It seems as though their surprise-released album Sore Thumb is finally putting them on the indie music map.
This week also had some big news in indie music: Will Butler announced he has officially left Arcade Fire. Indiecast talks about Butler’s decision and discusses Arcade Fire’s new music. Steven and Ian also walk through Lollapalooza‘s 2022 lineup, which was just unveiled this week and includes the apparently controversial headliner Metallica.
In this week’s Recommendation Corner, Ian’s highlights several bands including Caracara, Soul Glo, Proper., and Carly Cosgrove. Steven praises Wednesday’s recent covers album, Mowing The Leaves Instead Of Piling Em Up.
