    Nachtmystium- "As Made"

    The Needle Drop

    Black metal modernists Nachtmystium drop the first single from the band’s forthcoming album on Century Medium, Silencing Machine. “As Made,” with its sequenced drums and calculated shots of abrasive noise, is a nice industrially tinged piece of sacrilege. I usually don’t care for drum machines in my black

    Superhumanoids- "I Wanna Be Sedated"

    The Needle Drop

    California’s Superhumanoids takes its usual synth-led and airy pop style and applies it to a Ramones cover that should have you drifting off into a deep, peaceful slumber.

    Beak>- "Yatton"

    The Needle Drop

    The band Beak> has announced the release of its sophomore LP, which I believe will be titled >>. A track from the forthcoming album si streamable above, and, of course, features the band’s usual kraut and psych-rock jam style accompanied by some ever-so-faint-vocals. Look for this album

    Unbalance- "Fluid"

    The Needle Drop

    Some cerebral and subtle techno coming from Russian producer Unbalance on this new song, which is the title track to his latest EP on Mutex Recordings. It’s a bit formulaic, but “Fluid” still features some really nice builds and breaks. The stuttering synths are nice touch, too; adding a

    Mayhem Lauren- "Special Effects" ft. Heems, Action Bronson (prod. Harry Fraud)

    The Needle Drop

    Ever since I caught New York MC Mayhem Lauren’s last album, Self Induced Illness, I’ve been crossing my fingers in hopes that great things will come to this guy. His old school delivery, heavy voice, and gritty personality are exactly what I look for in hip hop like

    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

    The Flaming Lips- The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends

    The Needle Drop

    The new Flaming Lips collaborative album is surprisingly cohesive and coherent despite it’s insane gauntlet of guests both big and small. WATCH THE REVIEW

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

    The Needle Drop

    A hard-hitting track from D.C MC Billy Woods that features lyrical guests Open Mike Eagle and MarQ Spekt. It’s a non-album single that didn’t make it onto Woods’ latest album, History Will Absolve Me, unfortunately. Still, the track is crushing both sonically and emotionally. The topics are

    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
