    Fucked Up- "The Other Shoe"

    The Needle Drop

    Fucked Up is a hardcore punk band from Toronto, Ontario. The band won the 2009 Polaris Music Prize for their album The Chemistry of Common Life. Their third LP, David Comes to Life–according to the Matablog–should be more melodic than the band’s prior work. The heavy female

    Craft Spells- Idle Labor

    The Needle Drop

    Craft Spells’ debut LP is a mutated mixtape of the best sounds new wave had to offer. It’s a kind of shy LP, but the tunes will definitely stick with anyone willing to lean in and give a close listen. Though it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, this thing

    Spirit Spine- "Ocean of Sand"

    The Needle Drop

    Spirit Spine is the home-recorded journey through the outsider sounds of psychedelia, kraut rock, ambient music, minimalism, and dream pop. The sounds on “Ocean of Sand” sort of remind me of Parts & Labor’s previous album Receivers, but this project’s influences run much deeper than that–just look

    The Pains of Being Pure at Heart- Belong

    The Needle Drop

    It seemed impossible, but the Pains of Being Pure at Heart have somehow found a way to sound sweeter and more innocent than they did on their self-titled debut. This slight change in direction didn’t sit well with me on first listen, though. I was a little disappointed to

    Mono/Poly- "Forest Dark"

    The Needle Drop

    A while back, I took on Mono/Poly’s debut album, Paramatma, in a video review. Overall, though the LP has some great ideas, it kinda spread itself thin by concentrating its efforts on a plethora of different sounds–you know, kinda like this. But that’s just all my

    Big K.R.I.T.- "Dreamin"

    The Needle Drop

    At SXSW, there were a lot of acts I ran into unexpectedly. Big K.R.I.T. was one of them, and I was way more impressed with that guy in person than I was on record. He’s got a new album dropping on the 28th, and this is

    Siriusmo- "Signal"

    The Needle Drop

    New video for the Siriusmo track “Signal.” I gave the electronic solo project’s debut album, Mosaik, a pretty positive review. Lotta great tracks on there, and more variety than your average album. Look for the LP on Monkeytown Recs. –

    Mac Miller- "I'll Be There" / "Donald Trump"

    The Needle Drop

    In my SXSW travels, I ended up meeting Boston MC Reks. It kinda developed into a long hip hop conversation, and I eventually asked him what shows he was going to. Out of all the rappers he listed, Mac Miller stuck out in my head. As popular as the guy
