The greatest EPs of 2013: 15 must-hear releases
Our favourite mid-length offerings from CHVRCHES, Banks, Sampha and more
- Banks - London: A beguiling introduction to LA singer Jillian Banks, London is a a winning formula of electronic and R&B, which when combined with Banks' stunning vocals make for explosive results. 'This Is What It Feels Like' and 'Waiting Game' are haunting, modern, yearning love songs that leave you wanting more.
We've had a lot of massive albums this year. Musical juggernauts from Arctic Monkeys, Lady Gaga, Drake and many more have dominated the headlines.
However, we're all forgetting about the full length's younger sibling - the EP. And we've had some seriously good ones this year. There's been some exciting debuts from the likes of FKA twigs and Banks - promising prologues of things still to come - as well as offerings that came before the big league, such as CHVRCHES' Recover EP and Lorde's Tennis Court.
We've compiled our favourite EPs of the year together - those that have whet our appetite for an album, delivered a great first impressions, or produced some interesting collaborations. Because if you're REALLY good, you only need four or so songs to prove it.
