    Andy D- "New Addiction"

    The Needle Drop

    A while back, I came out and said I wasn’t much of a fan of Andy D–or Lil B, really.. I don’t want to call myself a convert, I do recognize Andy as an extremely colorful personality who doesn’t hold back when it comes to making

    Zeroh- "Chocobo" / "Camera Day"

    The Needle Drop

    “Chocobo” MP3 “Camera Day” MP3 These two tracks come from West Coast rapper and producer Zeroh. If you like your hip hop abstract and mind-bending, then let these MP3s play, and pick up Zeroh’s latest mixtape, G7 University. He’s also got another tape hanging around as well. The

    tUnE-yArDs- "Bizness"

    The Needle Drop

    I was never in love with tUnE-yArDs’ debut, but this track is really growing on me–of course, the miraculously directed video here helps the process. Thanks to Mimi Cave for that! But on the sound side of things, Merrill Garbus is bringing the project in a clearer direction that

    Young Widows- "Future Heart"

    The Needle Drop

    MP3 A track from Young Widows’ third album, In and Out of Youth and Lightness. “Future Heart” has the kind of thick, humming guitar distortion that makes me think of riding a roller coaster off of a cliff in the middle of a lightning storm. Pretty intense stuff. The LP

    The Weeknd- House of Balloons

    The Needle Drop

    After numerous revisits, this Weeknd album just isn’t sitting well with me. Though I’m all for any efforts the artists of today make to change the R&B landscape, the lyricism on this LP sticks up like an unwelcome weed. Imagine this album as an indie film,

    Arctic Monkeys- "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair"

    The Needle Drop

    From their forthcoming LP, Suck It and See, England’s Arctic Monkey’s have dropped another track. They’re going a little heavy on the guitars this time around, too. I wish they put as much depth into the lyricism, though. Is this track for you? Find out in this

    Matthewdavid- "All You'll Never Know"

    The Needle Drop

    I caught word of Matthewdavid via Brainfeeder’s Twitter account. He’s a West Coast producer, and his full-length debut is coming out on April 19th. Like many artists on Brainfeeder, Matthewdavid doesn’t just toy with one genre. From ambient music to hip hop, every sound and style of

    LCD Soundsystem- "Live Alone" (Franz Ferdinand Cover)

    The Needle Drop

    Though LCD Soundsystem’s disband happened in what I thought was their prime, at least I have a beautiful corpse to remember them by. I’m sure there will be more live, b-side, and video material to come in the future, so I’m going to refrain from acting like

    The Shivers- "Used To Be"

    The Needle Drop

    MP3 New MP3 from the forthcoming Shivers album, More–no it’s not a Beach House cover. Stylistically, the Shivers love using their LPs to jump all over the place. “Used to Be” is a keyboard-driven piece of garage pop, but some quiet and tormented acoustic ballads are sure to

    TV on the Radio- Nine Types of Light

    The Needle Drop

    On their latest LP bring a lotta tunes with little cohesion. There’s a kinda shaky love song theme linking some of these tracks together, but it doesn’t stop tracks like “No Future Shock” from jumping in out of nowhere. I enjoy quite a few of the tracks here,
