    Veronica Falls- "My Heart Beats"

    The Needle Drop

    London pop rock outfit Veronica Falls drops its first single since the release of its 2011 album, Veronica Falls. It was one of my favorite LPs last year, and was so due to its infectious hooks, close vocal harmonies, and moody fall-appropriate atmosphere. This new track, “My Heart Beats,” is

    Tincture- "You'll Learn"

    The Needle Drop

    Tincture is an Australia-based producer whose discography is a little limited right now, but this track was just too good not to share. On “You’ll Learn,” Tincture actually uses Usher’s “Burn” as source material for its nimble vocals. The choppy dubstep groove is fantastic as well. This guy

    BJ the Chicago Kid- "#IMJUSSAYIN"

    The Needle Drop

    A new video from R&B underdog BJ the Chicago Kid, teasing toward his forthcoming release, Pineapple Now-Laters. The Davy Greenberg-directed video matches BJ’s down-to-earth sensibilities. The music, on the other hand, is where the real ambition lies. Between a smooth beat and killer vocals, I can’t

    Teen Demon- Not Alone 7"

    The Needle Drop

    Not Alone 7" by Teen Demon Last month, I came across some of the most aggressive and noisy rock ‘n’ roll I’ve heard in a while. The band responsible: Teen Demon. They’ve got a sound that combines elements of punk, noise, and garage rock that I think

    New Death Grips Video!

    The Needle Drop

    Every since Death Grips dropped a new track via an ominous video on YouTube last night, people have been asking me what I think of the experimental hip hop jam. So far, I’m liking what I’m hearing. I think the reversed vocals and the muddy beat on this

    Shlohmo- Vacation

    The Needle Drop

    On his latest EP of new material, Shlohmo heads in the direction of future garage, and maintains the modest and moody sounds that his music usually promotes. WATCH THE REVIEW

    A Place To Bury Strangers- Onwards To The Wall

    The Needle Drop

    On A Place To Bury Strangers’ latest EP, the New York Band delivers roughly the same style of noise-laden post-punk they usually do–except, to me, there’s just less of an impact this time around. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Leonard Cohen- Old Ideas

    The Needle Drop

    On his latest album, singer-songwriter presents exactly what this album’s title suggests. I just wish the instrumentation sounded better. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Milo- "Atlas Flushed" (Grumpy Groucho Marxist Response)

    The Needle Drop

    MP3 Last year, I covered quite a few up-and-coming MCs, and one of the most clever I came across was a young buck by the name of Milo. His debut mixtape, I Wish My Brother Rob Was Here, was one of the first releases I’ve heard to take the

    Here We Go Magic- "Make Up Your Mind"

    The Needle Drop

    A new track from Here We Go Magic’s forthcoming LP, A Different Ship. It’s set to drop via Secretly Canadian on May 8th. “Make Up Your Mind” shoots for roughly the same quirky, Feelies-inspired rock sound that material off of Pigeons and January did. I will say this
