    Warpaint - "Love is to Die"

    The Needle Drop

    Los Angeles-based rockers Warpaint have been way too quiet since the release of their stellar debut, The Fool, back in 2010. Now they’ve released a brand new track in anticipation of their sophomore self-titled record. The track, “Love is to Die,” is not too far removed from the tricks

    Throwing Muses - "Sunray Venus"

    The Needle Drop

    You’ll be forgiven for not remembering who Throwing Muses are. A group of young alternative rockers that released a few pretty good albums in the 80s and 90s on 4AD–the first U.S. band to be signed to that label, in fact)–today they are much less active.

    The Needle Drop

    Open Mike Eagle looking snazzy in this session video over at Kinda Neat. With school picture day as a thematic backdrop, Mike drops some pretty clever, hilarious lines that are delivered this a flow that grows more passionate as the song progresses. I’ve gotta say his singing is shaping

    Cults - Static

    The Needle Drop

    Loaded with insipid lyrics, amateur singing, and childish melodies, it’s pretty clear the the pop duo known as Cults has no desire whatsoever to mature their sound. There’s definitely more ambition on this record on the instrumental side; featuring an increase in instrumental layers. However, what ends up

    The Needle Drop

    Atoms For Peace–a.k.a. Thom Yorke & Fwendz–have dropped a new music video for the track “Before Your Very Eyes,” and it’s definitely up there with some of my favorite musically oriented visuals of this year! The odd waves of brown fluid lapping up against jagged
