    Us and Us Only- Rapture

    The Needle Drop

    A charming lo-fi number from the band Us and Us Only. Whether or not the world needs another super 8mm-filmed music video is up for debate, but this band–on this particular track, at least–brings a nice spin to this abrasive style of indie rock. A beautifully played violin

    Billy Woods- "Frozen Sunlight" ft. Open Mike Eagle, MarQ Spekt (prod. Willie Green)

    The Needle Drop

    Clubroot- Self-TItled (III - MMXII)

    The Needle Drop

    Clubroot – S/T (III – MMXII) – LODUBS-12001 by LoDubs Records III – MMX is the final album in a trilogy done by dubstep musician Clubroot. A little bit more ambient than the two albums that proceeded it, III – MMX seems like an interesting way to cap off a trilogy. The drops are

    Maker- "Missing" (Cave Painting Remix)

    The Needle Drop

    I first heard “Missing” by Maker a couple of months ago. I liked what the band was doing, but found this specific track to be a little underwhelming. The disco beat and female vocals felt a little played out to me. However, this remix done by Cave Painting is exquisite.

    Jermainesoul- Observatory

    The Needle Drop

    Observatory by Jermainesoul UK producer Jermainesoul has released a 5-track tape, calling it Observatory. The productions featured here provide a lot of atmosphere with spaced out percussion and warm synthesizers fading in and out. The tracks featured here lead my imagination to take think of the emptiness of space and
