    "Manchester" w/milo, Busdriver, Nocando (prod. Super)

    The Needle Drop

    Nocando, Busdriver, and milo are still repping Hellfyer, hopping on a track that looks like it’ll be appearing on a compilation formed by the alternative hip hop label in November. It’s not a bad cut either, and kicks off with milo spitting with a flow that reminds me

    Cocaine Richards - "Lotusball"

    The Needle Drop

    Some psychedelic animations are attached to this new Cocaine Richards cut, “Lotusball,” which combines some trippy samples with slow-moving, droning synths. The spacious hip hop beat adds a pretty nice groove to the mixture as well. Enjoy!

    Young Fathers - "LOW"

    The Needle Drop

    Scottish alt-hip hop trio Young Fathers have left me pretty impressed with their creative lo-fi fusions of rap, African music, reggae, and more on the two “tapes” they’ve dropped thus far, but I’ve always thought there was more potential in what the group was offering–especially if the

    CHVRCHES - The Bones of What You Believe

    The Needle Drop

    Oranssi Pazuzu - Velonielu

    The Needle Drop

    While the third installment of Oranssi Pazuzu’s psychedelic approach to black metal isn’t bad, the band doesn’t venture into territory any more exciting than what they delivered on their debut album–even though some of the band’s longest material yet sits on this new LP.

    Fuzz - Self-Titled

    The Needle Drop

    As Fuzz, Ty Segall and Charlie Moothart bring the incredibly high level of distortion and energy you’d expect from a Ty-affiliated album.
