    Mxlplx- "Civic Duties"

    The Needle Drop

    A young MC Ride–yeah, the Death Grips MC Ride–is featured on this Mxlplx video for “Civic Duties.” The video seems to be shot in the same scenic, highway-convenient location as this Swank Daddy video for “I’m A Man”: Ride clearly appears in the background of that video

    Aesop Rock- "Zero Dark Thirty"

    The Needle Drop

    Aesop Rock has emerged from where ever he has been hiding for the last five years with a new music video and single. He has continued to improve his abstract lyrical style and delivery in this track, which is probably one of his catchiest to date while still maintaining that

    Alfabet- "Hell Of Samba" (LOVED)

    The Needle Drop

    Producers Tom Trago and Awanto 3 create a hypnotic assembly of rhythms and polyrhythms on “Hell Of Samba.” Yes, there is a samba beat on the song, but I wouldn’t say the track is hell. It’s close, though. Considering the tense stagnation of these sounds, I’d say

    King Tuff- "Keep On Movin'"

    The Needle Drop

    Vermont’s King Tuff releases a foot-stomping and hand-clapping new single with a bassline that should get the young kids shaking their hips. I thought the previous track to drop from this forthcoming, self-titled album was fun, but this put a smile on my face on first listen. It’s

    New Young Pony Club- "You Used To Be A Man"

    The Needle Drop

    New wave revivalists New Young Pony Club have a nice, new single featuring an icy post-punk beat and some lyrics that read like a good book. Liking what I’m hearing!

    mewithoutYou- "East Enders Wives"

    The Needle Drop

    Stream: mewithoutYou- “East Enders Wives” Another track drops from the forthcoming mewithoutYou album, Ten Stories. It’s a quiet contrast from the first song to be released from this album, but no less enthralling as a result. Can’t wait to see how all these tracks come together on the

    Debo Band- "Asha Gedawo"

    The Needle Drop

    Some bright and uplighting Ethiopian jazz rock from the Debo Band on the track “Asha Gedawo,” which is the first song to drop from the group’s forthcoming Sub Pop-released, self-titled album. Enjoy! I’m really loving the horns and exotic groove on this one.
