Today is a very packed day for album releases, ranging from acclaimed indie acts ( ! Cassandra Jenkins!) to the opposite of acclaimed indie acts (a new Eric Clapton live album!) Steven and Ian looked at the slate and decided to play FMK, touching on albums from Cigarettes After Sex, , Sturgill Simpson, Phish, Travis, and more. Steven also asked Ian for his thoughts on the recent LP, and finds that Ian isn’t really on board. In the mailbag, they answer a question about whether there are “Joe Biden-esque bands” that need to retire, and then they delve deep into amorphous concept known as -core.
In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks up the power pop band Macseal and Steven stumps for Detroit singer-songwriter Conor Lynch. New episodes of drop every Friday. Listen to Episode 197 here and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
