Migrate Music Review: Needle – “St. Timothy”

Download: Needle – “Oceans” 

From Kramer, who has notably produced for Galaxie 500, Gwar, Low, Half Japanese, White Zombie, Urge Overkill, and many others, comes a new and exciting band called Needle. We, at Migrate, have recently received their newest EP titled: Saint Timothy’s, and we highly recommend you check them out. Saint Timothy’s will be officially released on January 10th, 2012, but you can check out and download their song “Ocean” above.

Needle has been flying under the radar for quite sometime now. Falling somewhere in between indie rock and an almost neo-contemporary pop, Needle takes the hand of the listener and pulls them through a slow poetic portrayal of sadness, loss, and breaking out one’s monotony. Hailing from San Francisco, California, the band just released Saint Timothy’s, their new seven-song EP. It’s the follow-up to their debut release: Songs Your Mother Never Sang You. Needle is a male/female duo comprised of members Sea and Beck. Their music is composed of “acoustic guitars and distortion, analog synthesizers, old time pianos along with toy xylophones and a cocktail drum.” This vast array of instruments yields a lullaby of simplicity that is both soothing and intriguing. The band’s simplicity doesn’t take anything away from their overall sound.
