Flourescent Grey EP by Deerhunter?
Joanna Newsom & The Ys Street Band!
Second
Though actually I'd probably put Flourescent Grey slightly ahead of it. 'Colleen' is just amazing though, and the alternate versions are fantastic.
This year has been great for EPs in general though. Nice to see Godwits mentioned by twee_loser for example. And also Yeah Yeah Yeahs which is like the best thing they've ever done.
I could never find that YYYs EP
was it limited or a digital release?
Nope
Maybe you're just bad at looking?
YOUR FACE is bad (at) looking
note to self: get better at insults.
Oh, Omgz1one
when are we just going to ditch these pointless bickerings and consummate our obviously-burning passion for each other?
note to self: get better at not being a sleazeball
Haven't heard too many EPs this year
but Johnny Foreigner's was clearly the best of the ones I have listened to
This:
1. The Sleeping Years - Setting Fire To Sleepy Towns
2. Down I Go - This Is Robotcore
3. Efterklang - Under Giant Trees
4. Popular Workshop - Stutter And Dance
5. Cruiser Chimps - Cruiser Chimps EP
Adebisi Shank - This is an EP by the band Adebisi Shank
Down I Go - This is Robotcore
*shels - Laurentian's Atoll
...
The Rebel - Tarscoffsky's The Snackrifice
http://www.therebel.co.uk/images/tarscoffsky.jpg
Tokyo Police Club
But I didn't buy that many, eh. Haven't found Deerhunter or YYY's yet... though I really liked Silversun Pickups ep, but that was released in '05 or '06, eh.
Worst ep I bought last year was that fucking Ambulance Ltd, as previously mentioned.
Is Is is pretty goddamned fantastic
best thing they've ever done, probably.
wasn't Lon Gisland this year?
it's between that and the YYYs for me. Probably the latter tho.
*last year, even
2007, anyway
Tubelord
Square EP
For me its
either Tokyo Police Club, Eugene McGuinness, Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Grizzly Bear, though many are considered to be mini albums
Joanna Newsom
or Of Montreal
number 2! get in.
More people should mention the Gossamer ep. It's a keeper for sure.
Perfection RIP
