I am still working on my Top 10 albums of the year list, and Danny and Tanner won't write one so this blog is basically only me now. Here is a different list until I get to mine...
My Top 7 EPs!
I was going narrow this down to Top 5 EPs but I saw that I had 7 so figured, whatever, I will do 7. Here we go...
7. Petit Noir - The King of Anxiety EP: This South African artists EP covers a number of musical genres with bits of electronica and different experimental sounds. It makes me think of Music on the Radio and old, when they were good, Bloc Party. I really like the song Chess.
6. Mt. Wolf - Red EP: This band reminds me a bit of Sigur Ros, lots of haunting melodies and vocals. This would be higher but the EP is only 4 songs and one of them is just someone talking for like 7 minutes.
5. River Whyless - River Whyless EP: A combo of Indie and Americana this group has very soft vocals with violins and quiet drums. Makes me think of what Hipsters would consider country music.
4. Alvarez Kings - Fear to Feel EP: This might be considered a bit of over emotional pop but I like it. Synths! Guitars! Drums with echoes! Skinny jeans! Goofy haircuts! I'm not going a good job of selling this.
3. Lanks - Banquet EP: More electronica style stuff. Reminds me a bit of Sohn. I would post his only official video but it is kind of weird so here is a different one...
2. Panama - Always EP: Another Australian electronica band...hmm I'm beginning to notice a theme here. These guys remind me a bit of St.Lucia. Fun stuff.
1. Jake McMullen - Always EP: I just realized my two favorite EPs of the year have the same title. WHOA! Super crazy. This one isn't electronica! I really can't wait for this guy to come out with a full album. A bit of an unusual voice but I love it with the echoey guitars in the background. Definitely some Ryan Adams influences. Great stuff.
Well there you go, my top EPs of 2015.
