Indiecast is a weekly show from UPROXX Indie Mixtape hosted by music critics Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen. Every week, Hyden and Cohen discuss the biggest news and names in modern indie, as well as look back to moments that established the indie rock canon.
Steven and Ian open with a quick conversation about fireworks and fireworks-adjacent emo music. Then they dive into the outcry from Lorde fans about the faulty "transparent" CD edition of her latest album, Virgin (3:36). Steven is excited to see CD discourse go mainstream, though he worries that this bad publicity might turn people off to the format.
After that, they discuss the AI band The Velvet Sundown, which has already...
Steven and Ian begin with a conversation about Virgin, the new album by Lorde out today (2:20). Judging by the singles, it's not clear if this is going to be the comeback she needs. They also talked about Guitar, the new album just announced by Mac DeMarco, his first "proper" record of songs in years (15:15).
Then they pivoted to a conversation about the weird state of music in 2025 (24:14), which already seems like a weake...
Steven and Ian open this week's episode by hashing out the new trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, the upcoming film about the making of Nebraska starring Jeremy Allen White from The Bear. Does the movie look any good? Does Jeremy have the proper level of rasp? (1:19) The guys also talk about a (terrible) new song featuring three sons of The Beatles. (10:13) Then, after Steven officially concedes defeat in th...

From there, the guys talk about a new album announcement from Big Thief, as well as a new single (16:2...
Steven and Ian begin this week's episode by noting the returns of two indie-rock favorites from the 2000s — Grizzly Bear and Fiery Furnaces are both returning to the road later this year (0:42). (Given that Grizzly Bear's Shields was recently inducted in the Indiecast Hall Of Fame, could this be evidence of the vaunted Indiecast bump?)
The guys also talk about an upcoming fall tour from Modest Mouse and Built To Spill,...
Steven and Ian begin with a short Sportscast about the tush push surviving a potential ban in the NFL (0:00). Then they talk about about the terrible commercial performance for Arcade Fire's latest album and where the band goes from here (6:43).

From there, they touch briefly on the Fantasy Albums Draft, which is looking very close (12:01), and recent mainstream rock releases by Sleep Token and Counting Crows (16:35). Then there's a discussion of the recent Arcade Fire...
Steven and Ian open today with a quick TV-cast on the latest episode of The Rehearsal, which is some of the finest Evanescence-related content you will ever see. (0:13) (They also pivot briefly to a Movie-cast about Sinners.) (10:20) From there, they update the Fantasy Album Draft to talk about the great new album by Billy Woods, Golliwog, which is wowing critics. (14:00) They also briefly touch on the new Arcade Fire reco...
Steven and Ian open this week with a conversation about financial woes at the LP subscription service Vinyl Me Please, and what this says about the "Big Vinyl" industry (1:16). They also talk about Steven's recent column on the most "CD album" albums, and why certain records work better on compact disc (9:38).
In the Fantasy Album Draft update, they talk about new records by Model/Actriz and Jenny Hval (22:13). Then they re...
Steven and Ian start off by looking at the recently announced lineup for the annual Chicago punk festival Riot Fest, which includes a surprising addition: The Beach Boys [0:00]. Then they talk about deeply divided opinions in the mailbag about the semi-regular Sportscast segment — some of you hate it, some of you love it. Either way, Sportscast will continue. [11:34]
For the Fantasy Albums Draft update, they check back...
Steven and Ian begin this week's episode with a correction about Ian's claim about a "last" Bon Iver concert (0:00), and a conversation about the current state of the Indiecast mailbag.

Steven and Ian begin this week's episode with some exciting news: Ian is writing a book (0:00)! Incredibly, it's an in-depth look at Childish Gambino's Camp. (Actually, it's about emo in the '90s.) Steven also presses Ian for his opinion on the new Black Country, New Road album, which he didn't bring up last week (4:30). From there, they do an extended lightning round on new singles from newly announced albums by Arcade Fi...
Steven and Ian open this week's episode with a question: Was the first quarter of 2025 a little disappointing, in terms of album releases? Seems like it was (1:51). So why not look ahead to the second quarter? The guys go over new-release teases for music this week from a bevy of stars, including Wet Leg, Turnstile, and WU LYF (3:24). Then they do the Fantasy Albums Draft for the second quarter, discussing upcoming records...
Steven and Ian kill some time at the start chatting about the return of Tobias Jesso Jr. (0:00) and Steven's recent list of the best 21st century indie-rock albums, which generated some buzz online (6:23). But they devote most of the episode discussing a full slate of new releases this week. First up is Lucy Dacus, who is back with a big new release on a major label. But is the album a major achievement (21:45)? After that...
Steven and Ian open this week's episode by noting the arrival of a new Kanye West album, and the difference between saying stupid things and doing criminal things (0:00).

Steven and Ian open this week's episode by addressing the confusing new slang about "reheating one's nachos" as a metaphor for revisiting a signature style, used this week in reference to the new Lady Gaga album [1:12]. They also talk about the new single from Haim, and what it portends for (presumably) their upcoming LP [15:01].
In the mailbag, they weigh possibilities of Indiecast merch [31:56] and spend a ton of time con...
Steven and Ian begin today's episode by celebrating the recent Oscar win for Daniel Blumberg, who picked up a trophy for scoring the The Brutalist, and his apparently disavowed past as the frontman for underrated early 2010s indie-rock band Yuck (1:24). The guys stay on the "Remember Some Guys" tip by noting this week's reunion news for The Beta Band, who will also be reissuing their beloved 1998 album The Three EPs (7:14)...
Steven and Ian begin with a quick Sportscast on the Green Bay Packers proposing a ban on the Philadelphia Eagles' signature play, the tush push, some truly tattletale behavior (1:16). They also check in on the Fantasy Albums Draft, which appears to be breaking Steven's way (6:28). From there, they discuss the new album from Sam Fender, People Talking (15:20), and whether The War On Drugs now function as their own genre. Th...
