    Sleaford Mods - Singles Collection

    The Needle Drop

    Singles collection by Sleaford Mods Musically minimal and verbally maximal, this singles collection from Sleaford Mods is one of the oddest things I’ve come into contact with in the past month. Yeah, it sounds a lot like the Fall, but their use of drum machines and loops definitely sets

    Machine Girl - WLFGRL

    The Needle Drop

    Machine Girl – WLFGRL by Dred Collective I don’t know who Machine Girl is, and I think that’s the case for most people since this s/he is a relative unknown in electronic music right now. I can’t say the new album I’m linking you to right

    Sisyphus - Self-Titled

    The Needle Drop

    This debut full-length from Sisyphus is far from perfect, but it’s still an incredibly bold and fun display of pop absurdity and genre-blending.

    Tobacco - "Streaker" ft. Notrabel

    The Needle Drop

    Black Moth Super Rainbow frontman Tobacco will drop his third solo album Ultima II Massage next month, and from what we’ve heard so far, it’s gonna be a filthy, scuzzy affair. Now, if you thought lead single “Eruption” wasn’t filthy or scuzzy enough, this new one “Streaker”

    Eno • Hyde - "Daddy's Car"

    The Needle Drop

    As mentioned previously, Brian Eno and Underworld co-founder Karl Hyde are coming forth with a collaborative full-length called Someday World. Despite having basic elements, the lead single “The Satellites” was a nice, mildly moody treat – it was great hearing these two electronic music veterans working together and just delivering a

    The Needle Drop

    While this new Avey Tare record has some sweet melodies on it, nearly every piece of instrumentation on this thing is burnt to a crisp with effects. A lot like the latest Animal Collective record, this album is a little overdone, and could have benefited from taking the more orthodox
