    Macklemore and Ryan Lewis- The Heist

    The Needle Drop

    On this new, collaborative album, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis bring some great pop rap tracks with a conscious edge, but don’t quite live up to the epic and ambitious expectations set by stellar singles like “Wings” and “Same Love.” WATCH THE REVIEW

    The Mountain Goats- Transcendental Youth

    The Needle Drop

    Though the new Mountain Goats album doesn’t hold many surprises for longtime fans, John Darnielle does continue delivering some of the most unique and riveting tales in the singer-songwriter world. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Mellowhype- Numbers

    The Needle Drop

    With Numbers, Mellowhype manages to churn out a few decent beats, but the lyrical content and originality are more lacking than ever. It seems making an interesting hip hop record is not in Mellowhype’s career itinerary. Instead, portraying the forgettable fantasies of that “cool kid with a c average”

    Alt-J- An Awesome Wave

    The Needle Drop

    On their full-length debut, the UK’s Alt-J bursts out of the gate with a group of songs that are equal parts creative, eccentric, and playful. Art pop for those with sunny dispositions. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Mumford & Sons- Babel

    The Needle Drop

    Though Mumford & Sons continue to be one of the least adventurous bands in folk music, what the band does with their tunes and regal combination of horns and strings is pretty sweet on the ears and comforting. A likable sophomore release. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Efterklang- Piramida

    The Needle Drop

    On Piramida, the Danish band Efterklang seems to tone things down even further from the more subtle move the band made with their previous LP. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Deerhoof- Breakup Song

    The Needle Drop

    On Breakup Song, the experimental rock outfit Deerhoof–not Deefhoof, duh–goes, well, electronic, incorporating loads of synths, beats, and samples. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Flying Lotus- Until the Quiet Comes

    The Needle Drop

    On Dark Time Sunshine’s latest LP, the abstract hip hop duo takes its Aesop Rock-inspired style and adds some blissful production into the equation. It kinda like the Postal Service of hip hop albums. Maybe you’ll like it! Check it out, my son. WATCH THE REVIEW
