    Meet Ela Orleans

    The Needle Drop

    Thee Oh Sees - "Minotaur"

    The Needle Drop

    San Francisco garage rock band Thee Oh Sees is anything but slow-paced when it comes to releasing new material. Checking in with at least one and often two full-length albums per year for the past few years, the group is continuing their streak with a new release on April 16,

    Julianna Barwick - "Pacing"

    The Needle Drop

    Julianna Barwick definitely knows how to create an atmosphere with her music that is absolutely heavenly. As with all of the music she produces “Pacing” makes me feel as though I am going to start floating at any moment. Whisking me away to a place where I am floating through

    The Underachievers - Indigoism

    The Needle Drop

    Judging from tracks like “Gold Soul Theory,” New York’s the Underachievers certainly have style and vision; however, they don’t display it on every single track on this new mixtape–which really does feel like a smattering of different sounds and messages. It’s the spacier and more spiritual

    KH - "The Track I've Been Playing That People Keep Asking About and That Joy Used in His RA Mix and Daphni Played on Boiler Room"

    The Needle Drop

    Despite the fact that his latest full-length album, There is Love in You, was released in 2010, Four Tet has hardly had an uninteresting past couple of years. Last year brought us Pink, a stellar compilation of 12″ singles that he had released separately prior, and just a few weeks

    Lapalux - "BETHR"

    The Needle Drop

    Though Lapalux’s latest track isn’t exactly lengthy, it’s got a lot of beauty on display between its Angel One sample and glistening synths. I love how the track gets really thick and layered with this synths toward the end, too. Enjoy!
