    Ponytail- Do Whatever You Want All the Time

    The Needle Drop

    On their third album, Ponytail turns the noise down and pumps the musicianship up. While this album isn’t as harsh or mind-melting at 2008’s Ice Cream Spiritual, this new album–aptly titled Do Whatever You Want All the Time–shows the band letting their improvisational flags fly. These

    The Kills- Blood Pressures

    The Needle Drop

    Every time a Kills album comes on, I feel a bunch of involuntary reflexes coming on: my eyes squint, my lips tighten, and my shoulders start to shrug. I’m just unsure of why this music should appeal to me. I could certainly see myself latching onto the noisy distortion,

    Cave In- "Sing My Loves"

    The Needle Drop

    An 8-minute monster from the forthcoming Cave In album, White Silence. Some of the heaviest riffs I’ve heard in a few months. Clean vocals usually don’t do it for me in a style like this, but it’s just working for me this time around. Really looking forward

    "Weird Al" Parodies Lady Gaga

    The Needle Drop

    Don’t worry about the text starting the video dealing with Lady Gaga’s rejection of the song. Apparently, the song has now been approved since it’s release on YouTube this week. What good news! Plus, we’ve got a new “Weird Al” album on the way, so what

    tUnE-yArDs- W H O K I L L

    The Needle Drop

    Tune-Yards’ sophomore LP, for some, will be a true exercise in patience. Merrill Garbus’ vocals can be a serious strain on the ears, and the amount of instrumentation she’s packed into this album borders on migraine-inducing. But all of this album’s quirks can easily become strengths on the

    Stream the New Amon Tobin

    The Needle Drop

    Amon Tobin’s career as an electronic music producer has been long and fruitful, resulting in such albums as Permutation and Supermodified. He’s not the largest figure in IDM, but certainly one worth noting. What looks to be the guy’s 7th album, ISAM, is getting dropped on May

    The Needle Drop

    MP3 In preparation for its forthcoming album, Ex Military, Death Grips has released another track and music video–though this music video isn’t made of original footage like the last one was. Unlike previous tracks to be released from this anonymous effort, this track is actually performed at a
