    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

    Anamanaguchi -「Pop It (feat. meesh彡☆)」

    The Needle Drop

    New York chiptune outfit Anamanaguchi are gearing up for another album cycle in 2015, and the title of this forthcoming release will be [USA]. While many automatically think of 8-bit music when the name Anamanaguchi comes up, the band’s last full-length touched down on a variety of genres: Japanese

    Future Islands - "Seasons Change (Waiting On You)" (BADBADNOTGOOD Reinterpetation)

    The Needle Drop

    Give Ontario jazz-rock trio the opportunity to revise one of the most sensual songs of the year, and what do they do? They make it even more sensual. Yes, BADBADNOTGOOD basically pulls apart and reassembles Future Islands’ “Seasons Change (Waiting On You),” and they turn it into a sweet piece

    Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment - "Sunday Candy"

    The Needle Drop

    OK, OK, OK. Take a listen to this track. Recognize anybody? Yes, that’s Chicago rapper-singer Chance The Rapper‘s voice there. While he doesn’t get top billing on this track, he is very much a part of a four-person musical act called The Social Experiment. There’s been

    Maxo - Limp Bizkit (Maxo's Bisquick Mix)

    The Needle Drop

    In a mix presented by LOGO Magazine, Brooklyn electronic music producer Maxo creates a medley-like series of remixes with one central theme: Limp Bizkit. With jittery rhythms and jazzy synth embellishments, Maxo reinvents one infamous Bizkit song after another, taking on some of their biggest hits: “Break Stuff,” “Rollin’,” “Nookie,

    Vision Fortune - "Dry Mouth"

    The Needle Drop

    A strange, unsettling single from the forthcoming Vision Fortune album, which is titled Country Music, and will be seeing a release via All Tomorrow’s Parties. The otherworldly tones and deadpan vocals on “Dry Mouth” remind me quite a bit of Liars’ output in the 2000s, but even more challenging
