Gavin's is a cute selection of songs with disco influence that I enjoyed a lot. And Volume 2 is the better of Lone's 2 EPs released this year.

I did check out your EPs but forgot to post :chick3:

Enjoying the song list so far!

That's going to be really hard considering it's the best Jazz record of the decade but we'll see :-*

Loved her EPs. I couldn't choose between the two, but I will say, EP 1 is perfect for spring and EP 2 for fall/winter. EP 1 is perfect when you're just cruising in your car and feeling happily moody. EP 2 is for the fast life.

 

Favorites: Noonside, Feel it Out, raingurl, passionfruit.

This EP gives me 90's deep house vibes. I was pleasantly surprised by Jesse's skills on this EP. Some of the tracks could be longer but I think this is just a glimpse into what's to come.

 

Favorites: Axolotl, Womb, Heart.

Another excellent release by Death Grips. It is captivating all the way through and I was very entertained.

Can I tell you how excited I was when I first heard this EP! She gave me Britney, J-Pop, Mariah, and pop punk all under 25 minutes. It was an excellent collaboration between her and Clarence Clarity (if you haven't heard this album please do). Can't wait to see what she does next!

 

Favorites: Cyber Stockholm Syndrome, Tunnel Vision, Alterlife, Time Out, 10-20-40.

And the #1 EP of 2017 goes to America by Olga Bell. This is imo slightly superior to her 2016 album release Tempo. On this EP, she refined her sound and experimentation into full-fledged Glitch-pop house excellence. Her lyrics on songs like Special Leave and Cab Driver are surprisingly intimate and anecdotal, giving an edge to the already melancholic instrumentation.

 

Favorites: America, Special Leave, Cab Driver.

I thought America was kinda just a leftovers EP from her album last year :deadbanana2: Still liked it though, since we got more.

Yaeji and Rina :clap3: I didn't know Olga Bell released an EP this year, is it really better than Tempo?

I didn't know they were leftovers :deadbanana4: But they were better than most of the tracks on Tempo so I'm not complaining :fan:

It was a very lowkey release. Imo it has an edge Tempo was lacking so :gaycat2:
