    Brockhampton - Saturation

    The Needle Drop

    On Saturation, Brockhampton jells in a way no other group their size has in quite some time. Definitely my frontrunner for hip hop project of the year at the moment.

    Beach Fossils - Somersault

    The Needle Drop

    4 years after Beach Fossils’ great sophomore album Clash the Truth, the Brooklyn band has returned with their most lavish effort yet. I can still commend the band for not shamelessly trend-chasing like many of their dreamy, jangly contemporaries, but unfortunately the pastiche of ’60s pop sounds they serve up

    STINKPIECE: The Beatles Are for Men!!!

    The Needle Drop

    Today I’m responding to a wonderful thinkpiece Salon published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which claims that the seminal album forever ruined rock music for women. Brace yourselves, this might just be the foulest stinker yet.

    King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - The Lord of Lightning Vs. Balrog

    The Needle Drop

    In lieu of a mere single, here is the entire second chapter of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard‘s three-chapter concept album Murder of the Universe. This will be the psych rock experimentalists’ second album of 2017, following the great Flying Microtonal Banana, and the ‘gimmick’ this time around

    Denzel Curry - "Ultimate" (BBNG Sessions)

    The Needle Drop

    Denzel Curry and BADBADNOTGOOD each embark upon one of their most ambitious musical undertakings by reinventing banger-of-the-decade contender “Ultimate” with live instrumentation. I’m more surprised by the trippy video than I am the fact they pull it off. Feels like I dropped acid…or edited a thatistheplan video. Denzel

    Todd Terje - "Maskindans" (Det Gylne Triangel Cover)

    The Needle Drop

    Todd Terje teases toward his beautifully-titled sophomore album Numero Twomero with a lengthy cover of “Maskindans,” an obscure piece of ’80s minimal synth from fellow Norwegian dance music duo Det Gylne Triangel. Naturally, this new version is a lot brighter and dancier, but it also features new vocal contributions from
