    alt-J - "Left Hand Free"

    The Needle Drop

    Nobody tell Sun Kil Moon‘s Mark Kozelek about this band or this video. If he called The War on Drugs beer commercial music, I’m not sure his mind could handle a band whose video essentially is a beer commercial. alt-J channel their escapist 90s soul in this video,

    Michna - "She Exists In My Mind"

    The Needle Drop

    Known for being somewhat of a chameleon when it comes music production, Michna has carved quite a lane for himself through the intricate mixing and melding of genres: doses of hip hop, electronica, darkened techno has allowed Michna to create a formidable music tapestry and given him the space to

    Ghostface Killah - "Love Don't Live Here No More" ft. Kandace Springs

    The Needle Drop

    One thing you can’t deny about Ghostface: as an artist, he’s never lacked for soulfulness in his music. “Love Don’t Live Here No More” keeps that trend going over an altered soul music sample coupled with the velvety smooth vocals of Kandace Springs. Keeping it simple and

    Days N' Daze - Rogue Taxidermy

    The Needle Drop

    Rogue Taxidermy by Days N' Daze I may not be about that folk punk life, but I can certainly enjoy the music, can’t I? Days N’ Daze is a Houston, TX band–because they’re too punk for Austin–and they’ve been putting out records since the

    Kijinoise - Kijinoise XIV

    The Needle Drop

    Kijinoise by Kijinoise Here’s something that caught my ears while wading through Bandcamp earlier today. Kijinoise is a Chinese musician who has been uploading projects quite prolifically since late last month, using solely a guitar to deliver a fuzzy fusion of drone, noise, progressive rock, doom, and free improvisational

    Matthew Revert - "The Heart's Heartbeat" / Food Court - Self-Titled (Excerpt)

    The Needle Drop

    Kye, the record label of one of my very favorite artists Graham Lambkin, has put out its final two releases of 2014. The first is Australian novelist Matthew Revert‘s Not You, a singer-songwriter project with lo-fi and electroacoustic inclinations, as you’ll find with cut “The Heart’s Heartbeat”

    Dean Blunt - Black Metal

    The Needle Drop

    UK singer-songwriter and musical oddball Dean Blunt releases an album that’s difficult to put into words. While simple in composition and sloppy in execution, the album still manages to draw up some real feelings of isolation, melancholy, and frustration.

    David Bowie - "'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore"

    The Needle Drop

    With upcoming 10″ single “Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)/’Tis a Pity She Was a Whore,” David Bowie ventures deeper into avant-garde territory. The B-side, streamable above, is a chaotic big band experiment that evokes an Elizabethan incest tragedy – quite a leap from the mild experimentation of last
