    Dead Cross - Self-Titled

    The Needle Drop

    For the most part, this self-titled debut from hardcore supergroup Dead Cross offers a good balance between the genre’s original blueprint and some experimentation of their own.

    Ski Mask the Slump God - YouWillRegret

    The Needle Drop

    Ski Mask the Slump God’s outlandish and sometimes gross lyricism is sure to put off some listeners, but his animated performances left quite an impression on me over the short runtime of this latest mixtape.

    Black Lips - Satan's Graffiti or God's Art?

    The Needle Drop

    Despite its overture, interludes, and finale, the new(ish) Black Lips album doesn’t quite succeed at being some sort of grand statement. However, the band still has a killer sound and delivers a plethora of great tracks here.

    Benjamin Clementine - "God Save the Jungle"

    The Needle Drop

    I missed Benjamin Clementine’s latest single while on vacation, but good thing I went back for it because this is some of the London singer-songwriter’s most potent, visceral work yet. “God Save the Jungle” isn’t at all la-di-da like some of the stuff on Benjamin’s (still

    Brockhampton - "Gummy"

    The Needle Drop

    TWIABP - "Dillon and Her Son"

    The Needle Drop

    The World Is a Beautiful Place has announced their third album, titled Always Foreign, and with that has come a somewhat divisive lead single. The sound the band goes for here is closer to pop punk than Midwest emo, but I can appreciate it as one of the catchiest songs
