ReadabilityThe Best EP's and Such of 2009
Yes, for the first time, I’m breaking down my favorite music of any given year into separate posts so as to give each collection its fair shake. First up — my favorite music found in EP, 7″, and/or 12″ format.
Programming Notes:
- I have placed the entries in alphabetical order, eschewing the need to place any subjective number/place value ranking upon these records.
- With each entry, I have provided a link to artist’s website (with preference for an actual site over a MySpace page) along with any review I may have written and/or coverage provided.
- While many of the records on this list have been reviewed on this site, they have also probably received even greater attention elsewhere in the blogosphere (not to mention in the failing medium of the music magazine). Let me know your thoughts in the comments if you feel I’ve missed anyone or anything.
Animal Collective — Fall Be Kind EP (Honestly, I’d rather listen to the first three tracks on this project on repeat than most/all of Merriweather Post Pavilion.)
Burial /Four Tet — Moth /Wolf 12″
Buxton — Feathers /Flint 7″
Four Tet — Love Cry 12″
Ghost Mountain — Summer Tapes EP
Joie de Vivre — Summer Months
Lipona — Pigeonholed EP
Outclassed — This Might Be Coincidence… EP
thecocknbullkid — Querelle
Ume — Sunshower EP
Benjamin Wesley — Geschichte EP
