    St. Vincent - "Digital Witness"

    The Needle Drop

    St. Vincent/Annie Clark has released a music video for her recently-released song “Digital Witness”, from her upcoming self-titled LP. The video depicts Clark standing stiff with an almost completely blank gaze. The clip seems to be about Clark acting as this sort of figurehead/commander (I picture her as

    ThisisDA - "Gridlock"

    The Needle Drop

    ThisisDA’s new video for “Gridlock” is, like the single it accompanies, chock full of analogue artifacts. The visuals have a worn VHS aesthetic, bleeding/ghosting galore, that pairs nicely with the vinyl crackle of the track’s old-school instrumental (again, courtesy of Mancunian producer Mankub). The track will appear

    Step Brothers - "Step Masters"

    The Needle Drop

    Alchemist and Evidence are Step Brothers, and they’ve recently dropped a new full-length via Rhymesaysers. The title: Lord Steppington. While I’m not usually a huge fan of the slightly monotone flow that Evidence brings to the table, there’s something about it over this spacious, bass-heavy beat Alchemist

    Nocando - "Little Green Monsters" ft. Liphemra

    The Needle Drop

    West Coast rapper and Hellfyre Club head Nocando drops the first single from his forthcoming album Jimmy The Burnout, and it’s a dark, moody trap banger. This dude continues to drop clever bards, too. Liphemra contributes some nice vocals on the hook, too. Check a review for the new

This included many performances from various artists and bands, including up-and-coming UK singer/songwriter FKA twigs.

    BLACKHANDPATH - "Don't Choke"

    The Needle Drop

    Richmond’s BLACKHANDPATH is properly fucked up. They identify themselves as a noise rap group, but that label does not particularly satisfy. As can be heard above with the new single “Don’t Choke,” the outfit’s “MC” has both a greater affinity for yelling and greater disregard for maintaining

    Behemoth - "Ora Pro Nubis Lucifer" & "Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel"

    The Needle Drop

    The two singles to have dropped from Polish death metal quartet Behemoth’s forthcoming concept album The Satanist sound massive and are kind of awe-inspiring. The first, “Ora Pro Nubis Lucifer,” is a straight-up death metal frenzy, whereas the second, “Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel,” is a slower-paced, multi-phased piece complete

    Have A Nice Life - The Unnatural World

    The Needle Drop

    Have A Nice Life’s highly anticipated followup to 2008’s Deathconsciousness is a heavy, dismal set of post-punk rockers and drone-y ballads.
