    The Men- Leave Home

    The Needle Drop

    The Men’s latest album, Leave Home, has some pretty abrasive, heavy, and eye-widening production on it. This straight-to-tape recording features some great guitar distortion: and the total package is so thick and saturated, it makes this album an extremely heavy and overbearing experience. Another breath of fresh air here

    Thundercat- The Golden Age of Apocalypse

    The Needle Drop

    Out now on Brainfeeder Records, stream the new Thundercat album, the Golden Age of Apocalypse, in full via the player above. If you’re a fan of the sounds jazz fusion grew into during the late 70s and early 80s, this is an absolute must. The energy of Jaco Pastorious,

    SBTRKT- "Pharaohs" ft. Roses Gabor

    The Needle Drop

    New video from SBTRKT for the track “Pharaohs,” which features vocalist Roses Gabor. It’s not one of my favorite numbers from the album, but the LP itself is solid. Look for the LP now on Young Turks.

    Apathy- "Stop What Ya Doin" ft. Celph Titled

    The Needle Drop

    A new video from Apathy’s new album, Honkey Kong. Gave that thing a positive review recently. The video features fellow MC Celph Title, and even DJ Premiere appears to prove the production credit on this track is real. As far as the story and content goes, this video is

    Girls- Father, Son, Holy Ghost

    The Needle Drop

    I didn’t find Girls’ sophomore LP to be as instantaneous, well-produced, or fun as the California band’s debut, but there’s still a great set of tracks here–not to mention a load of ambition in the extra instrumentation. I totally respect the fact that these guys have

    Battles- "My Machines" ft. Gary Numan

    The Needle Drop

    Hell yes! A new video from one of my favorite albums of this year: Battles’ Gloss Drop. Check a glowing review of it here. Now since this particular track features none other than Gary Numan, I’m psyched that these guys were able to get him in this video. As

    Mastodon- "Spectrelight"

    The Needle Drop

    A new video and song from Mastodon, teasing to the release of the band’s new album, the Hunter, on Sept. 27th. I’m actually digging this track a lot more than the first one to drop earlier this year. The riffs are mighty, and the drums fills are pretty
