    Dope Body - "Hired Gun"

    The Needle Drop

    Baltimore noise rock band Dope Body drops a track from their forthcoming album, Lifer. It’s looking at a release this October on Drag City Records, just like their last album, and this new track of theirs is a heavy, wild piece of rock ‘n’ roll. While it’s not

    Morrissey - World Peace is None of Your Business

    The Needle Drop

    Morrissey’s latest album feels more ideological than it does musical. Which is fine, I guess, if all you care about is what Morrisey thinks.

    Iceage - "The Lord's Favorite"

    The Needle Drop

    Denmark’s Iceage have proven themselves to be savvy in numerous fringe genres across their two full-length records: post-punk, goth rock, noise rock. However, this new–and surprisingly melodic–track of their delves unexpectedly into alt-country, it seems. Everything from the guitar chords to the bassline feels distinctly Western, but

    Mirel Wagner - "The Dirt"

    The Needle Drop

    Ethiopian-born Finnish singer-songwriter Mirel Wagner very quietly released her debut of creaky, stark folk music with a self-titled record in 2012. The whole thing was very minimal and dark and somber, so it isn’t too much of a surprise that it didn’t catch too much buzz (which is

    Jenny Hval & Susanna - "I Have Walked This Body"

    The Needle Drop

    Jenny Hval and Susanna are both well-respected Norwegian singer-songwriters with striking voices who favor unique, complex, and often quite minimal compositions. Last year, Hval released a pretty good experimental pop LP called Innocence is Kinky, and Susanna released her fourth solo full length (she has an additional three under the

    Orenda Fink - "Holy Holy"

    The Needle Drop

    “Holy Holy,” Orenda Fink’s third song to drop from her forthcoming record Blue Dream, opens with a very classic-sounding guitar progression. Then you realize the almost spiderweb quality it has–spindly, dewy, and delicate. Fink’s vocals come in shortly and it’s all just pretty, blissful, and mournful.

    Take Over and Destroy - "Deep End" (Premiere)

    The Needle Drop

    Previously enjoyed Take Over And Destroy, a.k.a. TOAD, have a new album on the way titled Vacant Face. Considering I love loud, rowdy, melodic sludge metal, I am looking forward to the release of this new record. The band has seen fit to allow yours truly to premiere
