  • Jun 1 1-minute miracles

    Again with the 1-Minute Miracles!

    The Needle Drop

    Since I started blogging about 1-Minute Miracles, I’ve been asked questions I just can’t answer. All I truly know is this project is dropping some serious nuggets of beat-backed joy! The biggest question I get is where someone could even download this stuff. Well, the announcement has been

    Blood Ceremony- "The Great God Pan"

    The Needle Drop

    Is “darkness” taken seriously anymore, or has it just become a schtick that gets your band labeled “witch house”? Canada’s Blood Ceremony does reference witches, but they’re not in a house–they’re not in the ghetto either. The witches on the band’s latest album, Living With

    The Needle Drop

    A track from Little Dragon’s forthcoming album, Ritual Union, which will be dropping on July 12th via Peacefrog. On “Nightlight,” the band string together a fuzzy groove with some vocals that are too sexy to handle. Can’t wait for this thing to drop! /via/ Here’s a little

    Havok- "Killing Tendencies"

    The Needle Drop

    Denver’s Havok isn’t the only band reliving the salad days of thrash metal, and let’s be honest: For me, the genre’s revival hasn’t been that glorious outside of a few releases. Havok’s Time Is Up might be worth adding to that last, though. Considering

    Stream the Florian Droids' LP

    The Needle Drop

    Florian Droids by Florian Droids Uno, Dos, Tres, Quatro! Florian Droids’ self-titled debut LP goes from 60s psych to 70s prog through their bubbling Latin musical stew. These accomplished musicians have created a mashup of subconsciously familiar riffs and sounds from the days of album rock. These guys are bursting

    My Morning Jacket- Circuital

    The Needle Drop

    My Morning Jacket’s latest album was a two-part surprise for me. First, I was happy to hear how alive and ambitious the first half of this album was. Not only are the hooks and instrumentation strong, but the band seems equally comfortable saying something beautiful or funny with their

    Master Musicians of Bukkake- Totem 3

    The Needle Drop

    When it comes to choosing a direction, Seattle’s Master Musicians of Bukkake have a little bit of musical ADD. That’s fine, though. Most of the time–no matter what style these seven guys happen to be embracing–they always put a ton of heart and creativity into what

    Theophilus London- "Why Even Try" / "Flying Overseas"

    The Needle Drop

    OK, so I’m officially late to the Theophilus London party–or maybe I’m just really early, because I don’t really see a lotta people here. The Brooklyn rapper’s new EP, Lover’s Holiday, wasn’t exactly greeted with the warmest of welcomes when it dropped back
