    Holy Ghost!- "Wait and See"

    The Needle Drop

    And another track drops from the forthcoming, self-titled Holy Ghost! album. “Wait and See” is pretty different from the odd dance “Do It Again” was doing, but it’s still a big win in my book. My ears are watering at the thought of hearing the rest of this LP.

    Metronomy- "The Look"

    The Needle Drop

    Some sensual and tight sounds on the new Metronomy single, “The Look.” It’s from the band’s forthcoming album, The English Riviera, which is due for an April 11th release via Because Music. The track feels so danceable, but all the sounds are so thin and fragile. It’s

    Tim Hecker- Ravedeath, 1972

    The Needle Drop

    Tim Hecker’s latest album is a barren wasteland of forgotten sounds. It’s music you can truly wander through. Some tracks do feel a little short of breath, sadly, but there are many more standouts here than there are duds. It’s another strong piece of material in the

    Weedeater- Jason...The Dragon

    The Needle Drop

    Weedeater’s new LP is a heavy piece of work. This album’s got a lot of rumble to it, but I’d say the sound here grinds your ear drums more than it shake’s ’em. The filthy distortion and Dave Collins’ trademark vocals make a great combo on

    Beach Fossils- What a Pleasure

    The Needle Drop

    On their latest EP, Beach Fossils are shooting for stronger songs and better production. They even bring on the help of Wild Nothing’s Jack Tatum to bring one of the tracks to life. In my opinion, it’s improved the band’s sound greatly. Is this EP for you?

    DeVotchKa- "One Hundred Other Lovers"

    The Needle Drop

    On their fifth studio album DeVotchKa goes further down the road of simplification with their sound. The songs to come off as being more immediate and catchier, but I miss the whimsical instrumentation and international flavors that used to shine a little brighter in the music. We’re touching down

    Weedeater- "Mancoon"

    The Needle Drop

    For Weedeater, being dirty and rough isn’t some facade they put on when they pick up their instruments. It’s been a sound frontman Dave Collins has chased since his days in Buzzov*en. The two-minute “Mancoon” comes off the band’s latest album, Jason…The Dragon, which is
