    Destroyer- "Leave Me Alone" (New Order Cover)

    The Needle Drop

    Destroyer has recently covered the track “Leave Me Alone” for the Mojo New Order covers album of Power, Corruption & Lies. Destroyer’s take on this song plays it a little safe, adding some distortion and slightly altered vocal delivery. It’s a pretty faithful adaptation; however, I am looking

    A$AP Rocky- "Pretty Flacko"

    The Needle Drop

    A$AP Rocky has delivered some new wave for the new year in anticipation for the A$AP crew album supposedly being released in February. This song is pretty much what you should come to expect from Rocky now after his last tape, which means strong original production, with little

    1, 2, 3- Dreamland Pt. 1 (For Daisy)

    The Needle Drop

    Thanks to the people at CoS and LBYB for this one. It’s a new EP from a Pittsburgh duo by the name of 1, 2, 3. And I guess that in a way, this release qualifies as children’s music–well, it was written with the niece of vocalist

    Evian Christ- "fuck it none of y'all don't rap" (Loved)

    The Needle Drop

    The blog-o-sphere is in a buzz this afternoon over a new producer who goes by the name of Evian Christ. Not a lot is known about this guy outside of the eight tracks uploaded to his YouTube channel thus far. I know it seems pretty silly to be getting worked

    Lars Leonhard- "1549"

    The Needle Drop

    Ambient techno rhythms coming through on this Lars Leonhard track, “1549,” which was recently upped to SoundCloud by the good people at Kompakt. It’s nine minutes of vast, open, and hypnotic textures. Look for Lars’ latest album, 1549, on Bine Music.

    Wildernessking- "Rubicon" / "Utopia"

    The Needle Drop

    The Writing of Gods in the Sand by Wildernessking Here’s two tracks of hard, melodic black metal from Wildernessking. From what I understand, this group actually hails from South Africa, which kinda puts a damper on the snowy, heavily wooded images that usually come with black metal. Still, that

    LOGIKPARTY- "Anti Omerta"

    The Needle Drop

    For some reason, I just have a soft spot for post-punk with female vocals. Maybe it’s because the Slits’ Cut is one of my all-time favorite records. I’m not sure. The reason I’m mentioning this is sometimes I have to kinda stop myself from being a fan
