This three-track EP might look a little light from the outside, but it just means the quality control is very hight, according to Rich E.
EP Review
Three Trapped Tigers – EP3
With a little bit more heart the Tigers could be onto something very big, but these things take time. Mike Copus reviews the latest EP from the much talked about Three Trapped Tigers.
Adelaide’s Cape – Last Sleep in Albion
The world Adelaide’s Cape conjures up on Last Sleep In Albion is a far cry from the gauzy flights of fancy so fashionable in the modern folk world.
Dark Dark Dark – Bright Bright Bright
With their latest EP, Dark Dark Dark continue their exploration of musical genres, crafting a superb piece of work.
Lissie – Why You Runnin’ EP
The debut release from Lissie is, by no means, a bad release – the songs are pleasantly inoffensive, impeccably performed, and – in theory – highly appealing, but Lissie is a small fish in the insanely crowded, overwhelmingly talented female singer-songwriter pool.
The Key – Christmas EP
Whilst many Christmas releases are full of painful novelty songs that you sicken of long before your turkey curry loses its appeal, the summery sixties vibe on the Christmas EP from The Keys should see you through the new year.
Race Horses – Man In My Mind EP
An EP that impresses Gina Louise, but only because their not quite The Hoosiers…
Epic45 – In All The Empty Houses
Although by no means perfect, In All the Empty Houses has enough going on to keep things interesting.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Higher than the Stars EP
It’s encouraging then that The Pains of Being Pure of Heart, on their new EP, has seen them approach a slightly new direction… Daniel Offen investigates.
Alela Diane & Alina Hardin – Alela & Alina EP
Unfairly, perhaps, compared to Joanna Newsom, Alela Diane seems to be getting the attention she deserves at the moment. However, is an EP, consisting mainly of covers, a good idea? Katherine Rodgers finds out.
Not Advised – Fight For This EP
It’s all too easy to label British pop-punk/ emo bands in skinny jeans as whiney, guyliner-scrawled, Americanised twenty-somethings with a need to vent their bottled up teen angst. However Not Advised are better than this generalisation…
Yim Yames – Tribute To
Just days after the passing of George Harrison back in 2001, My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James recorded an EP of Harrison-written songs that is finally seeing an actual release. Steve Lampiris reviews.
Alela Diane – To Be Still EP
The quality of Alela Diane’s work allows her to also transcend any attempt at positioning or typecasting, especially on this showcase EP of her latest work says Alex Cocks.
Cherbourg – Into The Dark EP
The latest EP from folk influenced boys Cherbourg is another indication that these guys have plenty to offer. Andrew Grillo reviews.
Deerhunter – Rainwater Cassette Exchange
Rainwater Cassette Exchange seems to exist as a microcosm of Microcastle. All muscle and no fat, this EP builds on the last album’s diversions into taut, yet dreamy, pop music.
Banjo or Freakout – Upside Down EP
It would be wrong to say that this EP doesn’t show promise. It’s just that, until the band can find the tunes to match the ambience, they runs the risk of becoming as polarised as their band name.
