    Zombi- "Shrunken Heads"

    The Needle Drop

    On May 10th, the progressive synth rock outfit known as Zombi will unleash their latest album, Escape Velocity. Look for it on Relapse Recs. On “Shrunken Heads,” the duo take a shockingly electronic and rigid turn, leaving more of the percussion up to sequencing, rather than the impressive drumming of

    Clams Casino- "I'm God"

    The Needle Drop

    There’s been a lotta buzz around the blog-o-sphere lately in regards to this Clams Casino fellow. His claim to fame seems to be having been the producer of some beats used by Lil B, which is fine since the beats are usually what I end up liking the most

    Choongum- "Meteor Baths" (White Mountains Remix)

    The Needle Drop

    New England electronica producer White Mountains remixes a track from Choongum’s latest EP, Explorations. The original version, which was laden with some pretty heavy and distorted walls of low-end sound, gets cooled down with some airy synths and what sounds like a straw broom dragging against a stone floor.

    Snake Oil- "Can of Love and the Captain"

    The Needle Drop

    At the beginning of April, I blogged a video from an up-and-coming psych rock outfit from my neck of the woods. These guys like to keep things instrumental and slightly anonymous. There’s not much to know about the group at this point–outside of the fact that their members

    The Bewitched Hands- "Work"

    The Needle Drop

    Fans of beyond-bent rock, heads up! The Bewitched Hands–also known as the Bewitched hands on the Top of Our Heads–aren’t just all about peace and love, despite a pretty catchy sound. The French band’s track “Work,” this cut from their new EP of the same name,

    Fleet Foxes- Helplessness Blues

    The Needle Drop

    On Helplessness Blues, Fleet Foxes improve just about everything that they were doing on their last album. Keep in mind the key word here is “improve,” not change. Yes, the band is still walking down the same path they were on their previous LP, but they’re much further down

    Chateau Marmont- "One Hundred Realities"

    The Needle Drop

    MP3 There’s something about the music of Chateau Marmont that reminds me of some of my favorite Kraftwerk songs. Maybe there’s a modern dance feel to the music on their latest compilation–which is a set of 3 EPs released over the past 3 years–but the vocoder,

    Portugal. The Man- "Got It All (This Can't Be Living Now)"

    The Needle Drop

    When it comes to the Alaskan band Portugal. The Man, I’d say my fandom is very, very casual. I’ve only loved one of their albums, truly: Censored Colors. The rest just aren’t my cup of tea, I guess. But I’d attribute that to the adventurous nature
