Hot Club de Paris have announced a new EP for May and a massive UK tour for June.
EP
Alessi’s Ark – Soul Proprietor
With her debut release on label Bella Union, Alessi’s Ark showcases her beautifully crafted songs.
The Boy Who Trapped The Sun – Home EP
Home lacks a little focus at times, but there is little doubt that Colin Macleod is a genuine talent.
Yim Yames to Release EP of George Harrison Covers
Yim Yames, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, has announced plans to release an EP of George Harrison covers this coming August.
Blk Jks – Mystery E.P.
The debut EP from the Johannesburg band Blk Jks has writer Adam Nelson in a spin… contorting between love and hate over music that seems wilfully obtuse yet wonderfully listenable.
Cherbourg – Last Chapter of Dreaming EP
Compared to Beirut and the Arcade Fire in some quarters, Amy Pay wonders why, as this four-piece offers something a little more stripped back than those over blown acts.
The Gullivers – Ambulance EP
Lewis Denby encounters his very surprise of the year. The Gullivers ‘Ambulance EP’ is full of great music that belies the old comment of giving people a second chance…
The Decemberists – Always the Bridesmaid
Everyone needs a break now and again – for the Decemberists this recent EP series allowed them a chance to do something other than record their new album. Adam Nelson reviews.
EP Rundown (Glasvegas, Alessi’s Ark & more)
Rich Hughes gets a chance to review a handful of EP’s that have been released in the run-up to Christmas. Nice, bite-sized chunks of quality music for the price of a pint…
Shearwater – Snow Leopard EP
A treat for fans of Shearwater – a collection of sessions and out takes from their most recent, and impressive, album. Adam Nelson reviews.
Youthmovies – Polyp EP
Plenty of ideas, but never quite focusing them in the right way. Shawn Murtough reviews the latest EP from Youthmovies.
Cat Power to release new EP
Cat Power is to release a new EP, collecting previously unreleased music recorded during the “Jukebox” album sessions.
The Wave Pictures – Pigeon EP
Tom Whyman likes the Wave Pictures BUT… is there really a need for ANOTHER EP?
Zach Condon returns!
Beirut’s leader, Zach Condon, seems to have used his time off wisely… He’s got a pair of Ep’s to release at the beginning of next year.
Bear Hands – Golden EP
Peter Bloxham has a listen to some post-punk youngsters from the States who’ve been together for about 25 minutes… but actually enjoys it…
Vetiver announce brand new EP
Vetiver have announced plans to release a companion EP, of more covers, for their album release earlier this year.
