    Iroha- "Last Day Of Summer"

    The Needle Drop

    Iroha is a UK metal band that produces a heavy, blissful sound that is pretty comparable to Jesu’s. That shouldn’t be a surprise since the guy spearheading this project is Andy Swan. He’s said to have worked with Justin K. Broadrick in one of his previous bands,

    The UV Race- Homo

    The Needle Drop

    On their sophomore album, Australia’s the UV Race brings garage rock to a dirtier and grimier level than most. The band’s loose song structures and loose playing bring a lot of, well, “character” to these recordings. There are flubbed notes everywhere, and it’s all for the sake

    Bon Iver- "Calgary"

    The Needle Drop

    On this new track, Bon Iver has altered the instrumentation his somber tunes soak in, but not much else. Years after For Emma has dropped, the mood as stayed roughly the same–which is a pretty great thing, to me. Sincerity, earnestness, honesty, and passion all come through on this

    Germany Germany- Adventures

    The Needle Drop

    Adventures by Germany Germany Germany Germany‘s Adventures is a nice mixed bag of dance tracks that all come from the creative psyche of one man. An explanation from the horse’s mouth: Adventures nearly sums up all that is Germany Germany. The past synth-pop, electro, ambient, etc. sounds have

    Future Islands Doing a Tiny Desk Concert

    The Needle Drop

    I haven’t heard from Baltimore’s Future Islands since last year’s In Evening Air, so I’m really psyched to hear this little session from them in NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert series. They really put on a show–even when they have to rock it as
