    Nils Frahm’s latest album showcases a series of live performances, pushing a lot of previously written material to the limit with longer song lengths and intense playing.

    Burial - Rival Dealer

    The Needle Drop

    It’s hard to believe the three tracks on this Rival Dealer EP are actually Burial tracks, because they bring the UK-based producer’s sound in a such a different direction. We’re not getting moody, skeletal dubstep tunes on this one, people. Get ready for some auto-tuned synth pop

    Arabrot - Self-Titled

    The Needle Drop

    Norway’s Arabrot brings together elements of sludge and noise rock, gracing this hellish marriage with some of the most eccentric vocals I’ve heard all year.

    Hopsin - Knock Madness

    The Needle Drop

    Cali rapper Hopsin has a tight flow and rhymes that don’t mince words. While I like the more hard-hitting tracks on this new LP of his, there just aren’t enough of them to balance out the sickening melodrama that happens on a great deal of this new LP’

    Da Mafia 6ix - 6ix Commandments

    The Needle Drop

    Southern rap titans Three Six Mafia are back under a different name–and with a slight lineup change–but that hasn’t stopped them from pulling together one of the rawest, grimiest mixtapes to drop this year.
