    The Internet- Purple Naked Ladies

    The Needle Drop

    California hip hop collective Odd Future finishes off the year with a new release from the Internet. This ain’t the same angle you’d expect from most OF albums, but it’s not exactly restoring my faith in the outfit. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Cass McCombs- Humor Risk

    The Needle Drop

    The new Cass McCombs album, though I did find it to be a little middle-of-the-road, is a nice change of pace for this singer-songwriter. A good handful of the songs here have a harder rock edge to ’em, and some pretty interesting stories laced into the lyrics. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Nujabes- Spiritual State

    The Needle Drop

    Considering it’s a posthumous album, Nujabes’ Spiritual State has some pretty great tracks on it. Still, I think it’s best to leave this one to the fans. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Jacaszek- Glimmer

    The Needle Drop

    Jacaszek’s latest release is an eerily beautiful blend of classical instrumentation, indescribable noises, and interesting edits. Oh, yeah, there’s some ambient influences in there, too. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Comet Gain- Howl of the Lonely Crowd

    The Needle Drop

    Comet Gain doesn’t sound too unlike your average indie rock group, but they manage to lace their songs with some extremely memorable hooks and passionate vocals. Even though it’s nothing new, it’s difficult for me to deny. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Oneohtrix Point Never- Replica

    The Needle Drop

    On Oneohtrix Point Never’s latest album, producer Daniel Lopatin casually saunters into the field of sample-based music, and kicks total ass. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Red Horse- Self-Titled

    The Needle Drop

    The new Red Horse album is a little front-loaded, but it still showcases some pretty intriguing noise and free improvisational sounds. WATCH THE REVIEW
