    James Blake- Enough Thunder

    The Needle Drop

    James Blake’s new EP, much like his self-titled debut earlier this year, is loaded with ideas that, to me, don’t feel completely finished. Still, the guy draws up some interesting concepts–even as he attempts to focus more on building songs on voice and piano this time around.

    Taake- "Fra Vadested Til Vaandesmed"

    The Needle Drop

    Here’s the opening track to the latest Taake album, Noregs Vaapen. “Fra Vadested Til Vaandesmed” is a very nicely recorded piece of melodic black metal.

    The Needle Drop

    RULES by CIVIL CIVIC My favorite electronic rock duo right now has officially dropped its debut full-length, Rules, for streaming on Bandcamp. Listen to it above. It’s like playing a game of Megaman 2 on NES while eating pizza and riding a skateboard.

    Iceage- "IIIIIIII"

    The Needle Drop

    A bonus track included with the Japanese pressing of Iceage’s debut full-length, New Brigade. I loved the hell outta that thing, and the bonus song ain’t bad either. Messy, hectic, and energetic.
