Just because something is shorter doesn’t mean it’s not as fun – a thing people say about me but also about EPs. These small assortments of tunes often bring as much to the table as an LP, and we think they deserve recognition all on their own. We present to you our favorite EPs of 2016, and as always, we see local favorites (a posthumous Krill perhaps?) alongside your more mainstream (Vince) Staples. Check some of these out, especially the local selection, because this could indicate a future full-length from a band you ~discover here first~ on Allston Pudding.
