    Run The Jewels – “Oh My Darling (Don’t Cry)” (NSFW Video)

    The Needle Drop

    Run The Jewels are uniquely skilled at conjuring ridiculous amounts of havoc and bravado from a surprisingly minimalist approach. The duo apply this talent in the new video for “Oh My Darling Don’t Cry”, the second single from their year-end-list-topping LP, RTJ2. Like the production on the track, the

    Portico - "Bright Luck" (ft. Jono McCleery)

    The Needle Drop

    Once fusing electronic music and jazz on fantastic albums such as Isla and their 2012 self-titled LP, Portico Quartet were one of the most interesting modern music groups to come out of the UK. However, the band’s undergone a few major changes as of late: 1. They’re now

    Sleater-Kinney - "Surface Envy"

    The Needle Drop

    With tracks like “Surface Envy” being let loose on the public like an escaped zoo animal, I think it’s safe to say Sleater-Kinney‘s return from an almost 10-year hiatus has been an explosive one. While the wailing vocals and frantic guitar freakouts here aren’t the band’s

    GrandSims - "Empire" ft. Akbar Shabazz

    The Needle Drop

    Well, let’s hope GrandSims is slightly self-aware while making his claims in “Empire,” which you can watch above. He’s not that different from God apparently, and he presides over a coast-to-coast empire. Bold assertions for an artist whose video is hardly breaking 1,000 views. However, that’s

    Young Fathers - "Soon Come Soon"

    The Needle Drop

    Fresh off a Mercury Prize win, previously loved Young Fathers have dropped a new single titled “Soon Come Soon,” which features the trio’s usual blend of hip hop, African music, and alluring balladry. The song starts with a loose, primal groove and ends with a gorgeous set of vocal

    New York chiptune outfit Anamanaguchi are gearing up for another album cycle in 2015, and the title of this forthcoming release will be [USA].
