    DeVotchKa- "One Hundred Other Lovers"

    The Needle Drop

    On their fifth studio album DeVotchKa goes further down the road of simplification with their sound. The songs to come off as being more immediate and catchier, but I miss the whimsical instrumentation and international flavors that used to shine a little brighter in the music. We’re touching down

    Weedeater- "Mancoon"

    The Needle Drop

    For Weedeater, being dirty and rough isn’t some facade they put on when they pick up their instruments. It’s been a sound frontman Dave Collins has chased since his days in Buzzov*en. The two-minute “Mancoon” comes off the band’s latest album, Jason…The Dragon, which is

    Meyhem Lauren & Action Bronson- "Typhoon Rap"

    The Needle Drop

    New video for the Meyhem Lauren track “Typhoon Rap.” The guy is a New York MC whose style takes me back to the 90s; and though this vid seems to have a severe lack of budget–and shirts, too–Lauren and his cohort Action Bronson don’t need a lot

    Moullinex- "Tear Club"

    The Needle Drop

    I can always count on the good people at Nialler 9 for a great tune when I need one. On my most recent visit, I saw a streamable EP from Moullinex: A dancepop project hailing from Germany. The Chocolat EP is the release to look for. It’s out now

    Six Organs Of Admittance- Asleep On The Floodplain

    The Needle Drop

    Six Organs of Admittance, a.k.a. guitarist and songwriter Ben Chasny, exists at a unique stylistic crossroads where acoustic folk and indie psych merge. After 2009’s sonically dense Luminous Night, Chasny has come back to a very comfortable, albeit creative place. Asleep On The Floodplain, his latest LP

    New Strokes Video / Track

    The Needle Drop

    The Strokes have dropped a new video for “Under Cover of Darkness,” which I audio review’d the day it dropped. The band has also released a new song, “You’re So Right,” to keep the saliva coming for their forthcoming album, Angles. Check the, uh, cover: “You’re So

    Desolate- "Divinus" (Fan Video)

    The Needle Drop

    On “Divinus,” Desolate words the sonic manifesto for his debut album, the Invisible Insurrection. The reserved vocal samples and repetitious rhythms may not sound like much, but this project emphasizes atmosphere than it does song. Maybe it’s a little to structured for me to go full “ambient” on it,

    Papercuts- "Do What You Will"

    The Needle Drop

    On Papercuts’ fifth album, the band follows closely in the footsteps of their fourth, You Can Have What You Want. Maybe a little too close, though. Is this track for you? Find out in this review. Review: Papercuts- Do What You Will Stream: Papercuts- Do What You Will
