New Albums From Lucy Dacus, Destroyer, Perfume Genius, And Deafheaven

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 (uproxx.com/indie/best-indie-rock-albums-21st-c…), 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 (uproxx.com/indie/boygenius-era-phoebe-bridgers…), who is back with a big new release on a major label. But is the album a major achievement (21:45)? After that, they do quick hits on new albums from Destroyer (38:23), Deafheaven (38:23), and Perfume Genius (uproxx.com/indie/perfume-genius-every-album-co…) (48:21). Have any of these veteran acts put out new work that matches their best? They report, you decide!
In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks up the new release from indie-emo band Palmyra (uproxx.com/indie/palmyra-interview-restless) and Steven stumps for country singer Charley Crockett (uproxx.com/indie/leon-bridges-charley-crockett…) (55:15).
